What is recorded here
Wishing Well in spring - Hardcastle Crags is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.
Linked to a local tradition of making wishes at the spring, the site reflects a common folk practice associated with holy or curative wells in Britain. While no specific saint or cure is recorded, such wells were often believed to have healing or supernatural properties.
