Chalice Well: The Red Spring of Ancient Avalon - Megalithomania Tour with Peter Knight 

Dont drink the water from the white spring.Pidgeons can get in and they shit in it.

I'm a 5th generation native Texas, but I felt exactly the same way about Glastonbury. When I first visited I planned to stay just a day only and then continue my U.K. travels, but when I got there I felt that I never wanted to leave, so I stayed for the duration of my trip. I have never felt so at home anywhere in my life. I'll I want is to be able to return there for good someday.

Did you go? :)

@@angelkaterose Sadly, due to our Covid restrictions, I have not been able to go yet

I completely relate. I always knew my true home was somewhere in England; and a few weeks ago, I was incredibly blessed to be able to visit Glastonbury. And that was it, it felt so much home ... and here, back in the U.S., I also shed tears because I want so badly to "go home."

I live by the Well, come stay with us 😁

Go to your spigot and turn it on.

youre so lucky!

Good question, actually.

It's actually radio-active. It was tested for bottling in the 1950's, but found unsuitable. The monks of Glastonbury abbey never drank it, just used it for their 'ablutions' and toilet use.

@@mikesey1 would love to know if any updated testing in this regard has happened.

Do you mean that you are allowed to harvest wood from a yew tree in a graveyard to make a bow. That is a cool law if it's true

Charles Cannon yeah the law still stands today

Tim g star Mills tech that's some serious tradition there. Though long gone are the days when it was the law that you had to be proficient in archery.

Well I hate to be an old party pooper, but I think you will find that you cannot just hack a branch off a yew tree and half hour later , VOILA! You have a decent bow to slay all your enemies with . There is a lot more to making a bow than that . And I believe the wood has to be taken from the main trunk , so you would have to cut down the whole tree , season it and split it ……sorry . Don’t know about the law either, I would bet most trees in a churchyard have a TPO on them On a more positive note . The yew is the longest living tree found in Britain . I read somewhere that the yew was the original YGGDRASIL of Pagan mythology, not the ASH . confusion arose in modern times because the the old Norse poets used the euphemism “needle ash” when referring to it . Yew trees as we all know are frequently found in church yards, but there is conclusive evidence that some are older than the church , and were growing there before it was built . Suggesting that Christians may have taken over a pagan sacred site . We know of examples where this definitely happened . Knowlton in Dorset is one example. Lovely place BTW , well worth a visit.

@@barkershill no one said you can just take a branch from a graveyard in 5-minutes you have a bow of course you got to work the wood cure it split it and shape the bow no one hear in this comment section said this was a 5-minute process yes the law still in the UK . We was actually talking about how the tree grows as well .. you're not bursting any bubbles lol

I thought it was so they could pay their staff and to keep up matinances of such beautiful and well-kept grounds. Its less than £5 for an adult now it think, passed by chalice wells the other day.

I have read that money has an energy. is it to do with the old crossing the palm with silver? you hand over money and so does that mean you have given energy so now can receive it? I am guessing. I went 2 weeks ago here and we didn't have long only about 20 mins there so I didn't feel anything which isn't surprising due to the rushed nature of the visit.
