About This Spring
## Overview This ancient natural spring sits high in the hills of Rushmoor District, United Kingdom, with origins dating back to around 800 B.C. The water flows naturally from the ground at a steady pace — you can fill a liter in no time. Because the spring has remained largely unexploited by humans, visitors have reported the water to be of good quality, though you should always test or filter it yourself. Drink at your own risk. The spring is free to access 24/7, and you can harvest as much water as you'd like. The site also doubles as a perfect getaway destination — great for hanging out with friends and family, enjoying the natural scenic beauty, or even camping and hiking in the surrounding area. ## Directions The correct coordinates are 51.245160353249695, -0.8019871546190255, and the full address is Rushmoor District GU9 0EL, United Kingdom. Assuming you're starting from Rushmoor District, UK, hit the A325 road and continue on it for a few miles. Switch to Wellesley Road from the Wellington Roundabout and continue for about 1.5 miles. Cross the Claycart Stream and a parking lot right there and continue for a few hundred meters. Stop your car a few meters before the Bourley Road and Bourley Ln intersection. Take a walk in the woods for a few miles heading to the southeast. Alternatively, walk on the trail that'll lead you to Caesar's Camp. **NOTE:** If you reached Tweseldown Racecourse, you've gone too far. Please take a U-turn and head back to the parking spot. ## What to Expect The spring is located at a high altitude and can be difficult to find, so be prepared for a bit of a search once you're in the area. The water flows naturally along the ground rather than from a pipe or spout. The surrounding woodland and hilltop setting make the journey worthwhile even beyond the spring itself — Caesar's Camp is a notable Iron Age hill fort, and the landscape carries a deep sense of history. Pack sturdy footwear for the walk through the woods, and enjoy the adventure.
