Message from Steve Owen, Ruyton XI Towns Local History Society

A WALK TO ST WINIFRED`S WELL, WOOLSTON

A walk along the Shropshire Union Canal from Queens Head to St. Winifred`s Well at Woolston.

At this ancient well, famous for the healing properties of its water, we will learn the history of the site from our expert guide.

Meet at the public car park opposite Queens Head pub at 11am  The walk should take around 45 minutes each way and is mainly along the canal towpath but the final few hundred metres are across a grassy field.  Suitable footware advisable.  The well can be reached by car however, parking space is limited;  anyone arriving by car should aim to arrive by 12 noon to meet the walkers.

Society members free, visitors and guests welcome.  £2.50 each, payableon the day.
