The Water Remedy : Folklore, ritual and wisdom

The elemental pull of water is irresistible, whether it’s to bathe, swim, shower, splash about, sail or simply paddle.

We are drawn to it not just for pleasure but for its healing and wellbeing benefits.

Destinations, from holy wells to mysterious lakes and enchanted rivers, also have spiritual meaning and are shrouded in myths and folklore.

In The Water Remedy, Clare Gogerty offers a guide to some of the best places in the UK to enjoy being with water, inspiring us to see beyond its day-to-day domestic use so that we can benefit from its spiritual and restorative powers. Discover the difference that our rivers and seas, lakes and springs, wells and waterways can all make to our wellbeing
