Jemmy's Well In good condition.  It is well protected with stone slabs and the water looked clean.  I'm sure the sheep appreciate it.  Cambo First School in the background.

Holy Well The spring is quite prolific and generates a fair stream.  The water is crystal clear and has no smell. Some considerable thought and effort obviously went into the design of the trough which is now in need of a little care and attention as one of the jointed walls has fallen away somewhat since Andrew Curtis' picture in 2014. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4028175">NZ0186 : Holy Well near Rugley Walls</a>

A stoney track in the grass Rather obscured in this shot, but the remains of a stone-based track lies within this pasture south of Low Fairnley - perhaps a former cart track?
