Refilled my water from the White Springs.
This incredible space has always been my favourite spot.
And here is where I have had my most profound experiences.
This is a snippet from their website of the space I am most drawn to inside.

KING OF THE WORLD OF FAERIE
Nature is beautiful, majestic and powerful; diverse and interdependent beyond imagining. Humanity is part of nature, of course, as much as any other part. We live within it. We would not live long without it. Our psyche, our thoughts, emotions, our imagination inhabit the ethereal/ astral world. The Otherworld. A realm which is as real as the physical and interpenetrates it. The world in which the dead find rest.
Nature spirits also inhabit this world. The world of faerie. It teems with spirit beings living within it. Every tree, every plant has its own spirit, its vitality. As does each species. Every river, spring, mountain, valley and woodland has its own unique spirit, each vast landmass and ocean its consciousness. Places that seem particularly wild, beautiful or magical are elven courts, the abode of elves,
This is the symphony of the earth. The tiny heartbeat of a single plant, the mighty drum beat of the vast spirits, the choirs of angels of the natural world, the horn of the hunter, all dancing for the glory of their mighty king, the king of the world of faerie.
The King of the World of Faerie is the unity, the one consciousness of the all the diverse spirits of nature. He is the Spirit of nature. Beautiful, majestic, powerful beyond imagining. He dwells in the world of Spirit, a realm of finer vibration where suffering and death is no more, and looks upon the face of the Divine. This is the realm of the true human spirit, our higher self.
Faeries and particularly elves, tend to keep away from people. They are mischievous and can be unpleasant. However if you go out into nature quietly and reach out in your imagination for the blessing of their king and look after natural places you will be noticed. Once accepted they will look after you too, beautifully. Such fun is to be had in the world of faerie. Pictured within the shrine is of the Lord of the Wild Wood. The spirit of the wood loves his lord. The lord of the wild wood loves the wood and is its fulfillment.
Legend has it that this place is a portal to the Celtic Otherworld. Certainly our ancestors would have revered the place with the red and the white waters being symbolic of Faery and the Otherworld. Local mythology lends itself to this belief and Gwyn Ap Nudd is said to ride through here. Who knows? Perhaps you will spy him as the Wild Hunt rides. With more certainty, you will find a place with an unusual atmosphere.
