Hilda's Well Sacred Well View all content for Hilda's Well

Visited 1.8.15 Directions: On the A174. Church and holy well is signposted. The well is easy enough to find at the back of the church. I wooden handrail assists the pilgrim down the grass slope. The restored well has a stone trough next to it which had a large collection of old rusting coins in it. Judging by the amount of coins in the bottom of the well this place gets a lot of visitors. The water did look clear but I didn't risk it. This is a very peaceful spot with only the sound of a wood pigeon for company. It is nice here. Unfortunately the church was locked so I couldn't have a look inside. Well (excuse the pun) worth a visit if you happen to be visiting the nearby lovely fishing village of Staithes.
