I would not recommend drinking from here.. it is in the middle of a settlement, with a graveyard right next door. The ground water is bound to be polluted .. would love to find a local spring though.. I live just up the road from this one. I am going to be hunting for a nearby one this summer. Will post back when I find one! :) I used to play around here as a kid. I would not recommend drinking from here.. it is in the middle of a settlement, with a graveyard right next door.

I tried the water for the first time and 48 hours later went down with a stomach bug. I can not say 100% if this was due to the water but it is more than likely, I have since found out the ground in the area is contaminated with arsenic due to agriculural work and industry throughout the 20th Century. <br><br>I will try to find out more and perhaps try and get the water tested. I am wondering whether finding a spring direct from the source would offer a purer sample? As this spring is in the middle of a Town it will have travelled further with higher risk of contamination. Anyone with advice or information would be much appreciated. Cheers A word of caution. I tried the water for the first time and 48 hours later went down with a stomach bug.
