This is a most unusual place where you will see pieces of cloth hanging from trees which is a tradition dating back to Celtic times for the purpose of healing illness. There is a car park close to the well and there are also some nice walks in the woods surrounding the well.
Clootie wells are wells or springs, almost always with a tree growing beside them, with an assortment of garments or rags left, often tied to the branches of the trees surrounding the well, the pieces of cloth are generally dipped in the water of the holy well and then tied to a branch while a prayer of supplication is said to the spirit of the well.
