Quick facts
Archaeology suggests the spring has been in almost constant use for at least 2,000 years.
Its water is rich in iron, and iron oxide deposits colour the ground where it flows.
The garden is run by the Chalice Well Trust, founded in 1959, and the Glastonbury Thorn there blooms at Christmas.
