Medieval well
At the heart of the Logis lies one of its most remarkable yet unassuming features: its medieval well. A remarkable survivor from the early days of the estate, its ingenious design provides an insight into how the Logis was organised.
Hewn directly from the limestone, it reaches a depth of around 37 metres. But the well reveals another remarkable feature. About halfway down, a narrow natural passage opens into a cave connected to the underground karst system. This unusual configuration offers a rare opportunity to go caving and explore the underground network.
