The Parson's Well

Highlight • Monument

Very quaint and with a wonderful invitation above it.

It reminds me of the verse at Revelation 22:17: '...let anyone thirsting come; let anyone who wishes take life’s water free.'

Challenging final ascent. This pathway avoids all the overgrown brambles and nettles for more casual walkers.
