| Located next to the footbridge over King Water, east of Palmer Hill farm house. The
metal cup attached to the rock by a wire has been there for a while. Most people would
not drink the sulphureous water but clearly someone thinks it is potable. The farmer
at High House farm says that her mum used to go there to get water if her father was
ill. |
