Welcome to Dropping Well

Dropping Well is a natural spring located in South Yorkshire, England. The well is situated in the village of Tankersley and is a popular tourist attraction. The well is believed to be over 200 years old and has a depth of around 28 meters. The water in the well is crystal clear and is said to have healing properties.

The Dropping Well is surrounded by a beautiful woodland area that is perfect for a leisurely walk. The area is also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, squirrels, and rabbits. Visitors can enjoy a picnic in the woodland area or take a stroll along the nearby footpaths. The Dropping Well is also a popular spot for photographers, who come to capture the beauty of the area.

Legend has it that the Dropping Well was once used as a hideout by highwaymen who would rob travelers passing through the area. The highwaymen would drop their stolen goods into the well to hide them from the authorities. The well was also used as a place of worship by the Druids, who believed that the water had magical properties. Today, the Dropping Well is a popular tourist attraction and a must-visit destination for anyone visiting South Yorkshire.
