Malvern, free proper spring water location

[hedgerow pete]

Does anyone either know or live at the top of the hill, i used to be able to stop off at a place where we used to collect the free flowing spring waters.

can anyone remember where it is and if it still flows.

As far as I know it is still there; my Dad used to go regularly. He's 90 now so doesn't do so as much (still collects firewood on walks around his home, carrying a saw in his back pack for the larger pieces) so it could be as long as 3 years since he went. I can picture it in my minds eye but can't remember how to get there. I'll ask him tonight when I phone.

I get my proper spring water from my tap.
Sometimes I use a hose pipe to save me walking (or am I unduly upsetting some people by saying that)

i used to live in wales and had the best water ever as it also came from a spring from half way up the mountain i lived on.

the malvern spring used to have three or four outlets built into stone walls scattered around the hill, the addittion of the malvern spring water company stopped some of them working properly, there used to also be a water cress farm lower down that would allow people to collect water aswell. but its been ten years since i have done it,

I haven't lived in Malvern for 35 years but wasn't it St Anns well?

I have only spring water and it is crystal clear, and ..... The bees knees...... If you are ever going past Knighton you are free to fill your bottles for free!

I am not sure that spring water is the problem...

it will be summer water that we will all be looking for!
