The jury is out as to whether it is running in this shot.

The water runs deep and fast, but not all of the time. It was said by a certain George Oliver in the 19th century: "[Welbeck Spring] which was 'uniformly dry during the winter season, but in the month of February or March, a loud rumbling noise is heard in the ground for several days, and at length the water bursts forth in a hundred places as to fill in a few hours the whole area of the well or enclosure of earth where it is situated...".

Welbeck spring flows again - June 2023 (1) Last seen running in May 2021, when the pool by the spring was full of watercress and lush growth.

What looks like water weed waving in the water is in fact grass, which had been growing in peace in the dry stream bed until recently.

Wanderlust Way The signpost points northwards along the "Wanderlust Way". The obelisk is a monument to William Shaw of Brocklesby .. the plaque reads 'This monument was erected by his many friends as a token of their regard and to mark the spot where William Smith, huntsman to the Earl of Yarborough fell on 11th April 1845. His gallant horsemanship and management of hounds in the kennel and in the field were unsurpassed. His horse falling over a small leap whilst Smith was cheering on his favourite hounds, he was thrown on his head and from the injuries he then received, he died on 16th April 1845 at the house of his friend Richard Nainby of this village esquire, by whom the site for this memorial was given on the 6th day of April 1861'
