This sweet wishing well is actually the source of the River Wey, which flows south and enters the Channel at Weymouth. Unlike the sources of many rivers which are found in boggy fields, this has been rather harnessed for public enjoyment and is said to have been a favourite location for King George III.

It now resides in the stunning gardens of a tearooms, and is a lovely place to rest whilst on a hike in the area. The Jubilee Trail, a long-distance hiking route traversing Dorset, passes right by.
