Stanton Drew was lovely! Very quiet, actually... I've been there twice now - the first time we were the only 2 people there, and this time there were the pagan lot and another group, but it was so peaceful... Bliss! Stoney Littleton was great too... Just sat on top of it for a while chatting and relaxing in the sun...

"...oh bloody hell, it works!" made me laugh! Are you from Dorset then, Wiggy?

The Obby Oss sounds fab, Mr H! I must get there one year to see it...

That pub where the Obby Oss starts off from (can't remember the name off hand) - I heard tell there was a holy well behind it - Lady's Well, or Ladywell, or something. Thre's a block of flats of the same name beside the pub, but no sign of the well - do you know if it still exists? Or were the flats built on top of it? The only instructions were that "the well is behind the pub"... Whether it's direclty behind or several miles behind - I have no idea!

And while I'm squeezing more well-related stuff onto the forum - anyone ever found St John's Well (if memory serves) on the coast path just along from Padstow? The signpost, on one side, pointed up the hill. The other side of the signpost pointed DOWN the hill! Fun, innit? Is it? No.

Glad you had a good time.
No I'm not from Dorset - I grew up near Salisbury and now live in Bristol - me and Ruth just wanted to get away somewhere peaceful for the w/e, hear birds singing in the morning, etc.
You should try Padstow next May Day - it really is great. I stayed on a freinds trawler last time I went - it was a good day, and the pasties are the best in the World!

Sorry Goffik, just caught your post. I aint too up on wells i'm afraid and not familiar with Padstow enough to know if the thing is there or not. I will do some asking about and see what i can find.
