A unique and peaceful garden setting looked after by people 'that care'. The red spring offers a beautiful stream running through the different magical garden sections that appear very ancient. There are lovely places for sitting, for meditation and contemplation.

A wonderful oasis of peace and beauty, with a special, serene energy. Relaxing and enriching. A journey through time and space, with many exquisite discoveries and meditation spots. A place that takes you far from the mading crowd, to the very essence of being. Restrooms: Spacious and practical. Picnic area: Several lovely spots to rest, meditate, and eat.

Simply magical, you can easily connect with nature. On Halloween this place is much more special because you can light candles, sing, make wishes around the fire and you will see people with unusual clothes.

Absolutely lovely! Beautiful well kept gardens attached to a majestic Holy well. There are many holy wells across the south west and this is one of the very lovely ones. It costs £5 as an adult to get in if you’re not a local, and whilst I was against this, I realised they do landscaping and purity tests on the water, which you can drink and bottle for free. It tastes like iron. Please be respectful and mindful of others here, so please be calm and quiet 🙂

This is a reasonably priced open garden that's grown up around an ancient well. The actual main well area is designated as a quiet space with "turn your mobile to plane mode" signs, which seemed a bit extreme! There are lots of grassed areas and flowers with butterflies flitting around in the garden. It's very popular so not particularly tranquil! Overall, it was a great place to relax on a hot day and paddle in icy well water. There are plenty of benches to sit on, plus clean public toilets and an expensive gift shop. Please note there are quite a few steps from well area to well area. You can fill your own water containers from the spring water area there or a few yards away outside at the well house. Sadly, there is minimal car parking at the site, and it's a 20-30 minute uphill walk from the town centre to get there. Overall, I enjoyed visiting. Restrooms: Clean toilet

I was recommended by a friend to visit it. It is a beautiful garden with a £5 entry fee that is worth the visit. There are little retreats around the garden for you to meditate, feel the energy and vibrations from this mistic place. Many people enter the little water pools and are there in meditation. The little pools water e freezing, not sure why. It a very quiet place and you will feel energised once you leave it. Take the map and follow the route by numbers. I loved it. Dogs not allowed due to many people looking for a peaceful moment and silence is required.

I have bought a second home to spend more time with in the wonderful community and the healing that comes from depending time at such a historic and unique site. I do find the parking to be very limiting as I am not very mobile but I haven’t got a badge. Also it would complete the experience for me if my dog was allowed in. Children are often louder and more disruptive than dogs. I love visiting tho and I always buy from the dedicated staff at the gift shop. Thank you for all you do to keep the challis running xxx Dog-friendliness: Dogs are prohibited unless they are guide dogs. It is my personal opinion that dogs ( certainly mine) are far better behaved than the children attending this place of special spiritual significance.

Inside very dark but lit by candles. The spring is flowing as it has for thousands of years. Very spiritual. Outside a beautiful water feature, and the spring that you can fill bottles from. Magical place! I have been coming here since the 1990s
