    There is a holy well in this district although it is not very well known, it is named "Loggies well", after the man that found it.
    There is a bush at the well, and it is lined with big stones, it is partly under a ditch.
    The water is not supposed to be drunk by humans, but it is not harmful to animals, or for household purposes, people do not visit the well very often.
