The St Cleer Holy Well is easy to find and is sign posted on the main road going through the village of St Cleer. The well was in ruins until 1864, when it was rebuilt, in Gothic splendour, as a memorial for the local vicar. It now stands amidst modern houses and bungalows. Stories tell […]

My friend Veronica accompanied me and although she had been there before, this was the first time she experienced Earth Energies. First stop was Silbury Hill and very disappointed that […]
