Chalice Well, an ancient holy well, has been a place of pilgrimage for thousands of years.
Between two hills, the Tor and Chalice Hill, in Glastonbury, Somerset, the spring flows from the ground in the valley. The Chalice Well is sometimes called «The Blood Well»., both because of it’s iron rich water, and because of the legend that Joseph of Arimatea, following the crucifiction, buried the chalice containing the blood of Christ here.
The waters constantly flow at 25,000 gallons per day (13650 litres) and at a constant temperature of 52 degrees Farenheit (11 degrees centigrade).
The Well is surrounded by beautiful gardens in the Summerlands, where Tennyson wrote, ‘The island valley of Avalon, where falls not hail, or rain, or any snow.’
Water diviners and specialists have reported that the Spring has a ‘primary’ origin coming from deep within the earth. The dowser Sig Lonegren has dowsed many sites around the world and says, ‘The water doesn’t come from above. It comes from below and so is not dependent on rainfall and begins its existence deep within the bowels of our Mother, the Earth.’
The Spring has never been known to fail and in the dry years of 1921-22 it was the sole means of saving the whole town from drought.
