Meadows/Grazing Land, Lutley, Staffordshire Way On the Staffordshire Way (goes to the left of the bushes). A well is marked about 200m back at Lutley Cottage, but this little stream seems to appear as a spring about 100m back from the camera position. It dribbles into a small pool (just visible), then back underground.
