Abbots Well was formerly known as Alleynewell within the ancient boundaries of the New Forest when defined during the reign of King Edward I (1272-1307). This perpetual spring was, for centuries, the main watering place for travellers on the old road to Southampton. Theoretically the chamber on the left is for forest fauna and under the wooden flap on the right water intended for human consumption. I’m not sure I’d drink from it though - make your own mind up!!!
