Wells

The Megalithic Portal  http://www.megalithic.co.uk/
An online database of historic sites, mainly deals with pre-historic sites, but includes wells. The database is interactive, wikipedia style, in that users can create pages for sites, upload information and photographs. It  is far from complete, and sometimes inaccurate, but provides a lot of useful information in locating sites.

Cymdeithas Ffynhonnau Cymru  http://www.ffynhonnaucymru.org.uk/
The website of the Welsh Holy Wells Society. Contains information about a number of wells, arranged by county, and also an intermittent newsletter from the society. There is a lot of information, although there is no consistent presentation for each site. Concentrates on campaigning for the restoration of wells. Website is in Welsh.

Source.  An occasional  periodical devoted to Holy Wells published between 1994 and 1998. Index to all issues and links to many of the articles are available here.
