Geocache Description:

While placing "Uphill Downdingle" (visit link) found mention of this on www.megalithic.co.uk. However, the co ordinates were incorrect.

So I searched the slopes, and managed to track it down.

"On St. Anne's Hill, near Chertsey, by the ruins of an ancient chapel dedicated to that saint, stands what is described as 'a fine clear spring', which is known as St. Anne's Well, or The Nun's Well. The water is seldom frozen even in the deepest winter, and was considered by the locals to be wonderfully effective as a lotion for the cure of diseases of the eye"

Before this, it was a popular location for druids. (visit link)

It's not a "fine clear spring" these days, so for liquid refreshment, modern day druids probably wander down to the local pub (the Golden Grove) along with local celebrities. (visit link)

Heavy foliage, so be sure to take the hint.
There is no right or wrong way in, as many paths lead to the same location.

The cache is not in the well, but close by, to avoid damaging the structure.

Princess Diana £5 coin for FTF. Avoid druid mugglers ;)

Enjoy.
