Holy Well, Witherslack

Holy Well at the edge of Nichols Moss near Witherslack in Cumbria.
Holy Well is a low cave discovered in 1656 which had a chalybeate (natural mineral spring containing iron salts) flowing from it. The spring has since disappeared. The cave has several entrances and is said to contain 165 metres of passages (best left to the experts).
