Ventnor, Isle of Wight, England
The ridge from St. Boniface Down
St. Boniface Down
There is reputedly a wishing well on the southern slope of St. Boniface Down, which requires the wisher to climb up from the south without looking back, then drinking from the waters. Three wishes will be granted if this is completed correctly.
