The Chalice Well, Somerset

The Chalice Well is a natural chalybeate spring, with a red hue to the water, now surrounded by peaceful gardens, at the foot of Glastonbury Tor. The spring has been in use for at least 2,000 years and, inevitably, has mystical and religious associations; it is popular with pilgrims of all sorts. According to one legend, Joseph of Arimathea travelled to Britain and hid the chalice (cup) that had caught the blood of Christ at the crucifixion in the Chalice Well. Some believe this to be the Holy Grail. There is no parking at the Chalice Well – park nearby and walk. It is on the A361 Chilkwell Street junction with Wellhouse Lane.
