Cottage in the Wood Spout

Cottage in the Wood Spout
Location: In Cottage in the Wood Hotel, Malvern Wells, at the rear of the car park between the hotel and holiday cottages.
Grid Reference: SO77094270

The site can be found towards the northern end of Holy Well Road. Follow the A449 from Great Malvern to Malvern Wells and before the left junction to Upton take the right turning uphill towards the Holy Well, clearly sign-posted to the Cottage in the Wood, a private hotel and restaurant.

Like many premises in the vicinity built before the 1870's, this cottage was probably supplied with water piped for domestic purposes from the Holy Well. The original iron outlet pipe can now be found high in the bank behind the car park, where today the water runs to waste.
