There is a certain atmosphere surrounding a Holy Well, particularly the secret ones which are hidden away in our ancient landscape. Here, beside the ageless, ever-running water, it seems that time stands still and the quietness and serenity abiding there seep into one's heart and soul, bringing calm and tranquillity. Drawing on her own extensive field work, augmented with research into ancient history, mythology, geology, archaeology and natural history, Edna Whelan shares with us the magic, mystery and sanctity surrounding Holy Wells.
