Its still sacred today. A few years ago there was a Summer solstice ceremony there led by the Druids and local people. It was a truly lovely event. Nice video, thank you.

As a child, I lived in Market Lavington, next to a sloping wood with a stream running along the bottom of it. There was a 'bubbling kettle' there, and we used to stick our hands and arms down into it. 1970s good times before smartphones!

I will have to go and look at that one ?-Thank you for watching my small exploration into history !

[@elizabethwemyss3948]

My word James. You bring history alive in the absolute best possible way. Had no idea about these at all. I wonder if they are more in other places? I'd love to know even a fraction of the history you know. Thank you so much once again. I was waiting for you to do a Dawn French when you jumped in. Had visions of you going in over your head. Brave move

You and Dave started me on this journey for which I am ever grateful -Thank you Tiz I did nearly fall over so a disaster was always on the cards 👍

[@WiltshireMan]

As always James, that was most interesting. Hidden history brought to life, I could clearly see how they had built the watercourse. Glad you didn't fall over when you jumped into the pool:)

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

I nearly came a cropper Sandy you would enjoy going there as it is not far from you-Thank you for watching 👍👍

Very interesting, we have a few springs around my hometown in Ireland, I will take another look at them when out walking.

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

These areas are amazing 👍👍

[@billharris8263]

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

Thank you for watching my mini adventure Bill 👍

[@gailfawcett5555]

Very interesting. I didn't have any wellies on today 😊

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

Great to just watch the springs bubbling away 👍

[@davemoonraker]

Another Fantastic video James, might need to look carefully around the springs might fond some stone age tools. ⭐️

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

Possibly thank you Bud 👍👍

Is there much in the way of stone age activity in that vicinity, I know you mention dates much later on but just wondering what draws your conclusion to the age? I don't know the area I'm afraid so I might be asking the obvious. I know when I lived in Somerset we had some great trackway over the levels, and some sites had evidence of votive offerings, so those springs and the jud might hold a few secrets. Thanks for sharing James, great as ever.

Listed as being from Neolithic times - A fantastic area to visit-Thank you for watching Andy👍👍

[@janecapon2337]

I wonder what gasses are in the bubbles that come up with the water.

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

If you watch my video Fantastic Stone Age Springs I have some underwater footage I am sure it is water pressure ? Have a look at the video and see what you think ?If there are gasses-I just assumed water ? Containing air -Good comment-Thank you 👍👍

If you dropped 20 people from now back then someone would wash their backside right at the source sadly they were alot smarter back then in a lot of way

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

So true thank you for watching this 👍👍
