<p>I understand it's a bit of a tricky one. Wishing wells/ fountains
mostly used by tourists should not count, because there is not an
established religion behind that thinking of leaving a coin for
good luck. They are all votive offerings though, no matter if they
are rags or coins or whatever else people leave there (probably
masks now, I haven't been to a site since lockdown).</p>
<p>Good rule of thumb: If it has a saint's name attached, it's a
holy well. Or rather "holy well".<br>

<div>Interesting idea.</div>
<div>But difficult to define.</div>
<div>There is a wide spectrum from really sacred places, like
chapels with a spring inside to the wells or fountains where
people go with plastic bottles <br>

<div>to collect "good" or "healthy" water.and the wells that
tourists fill with coins (no drinking water there).<br>

<div>I would rather see this somehow under the tourism tent -
pilgrimage is the original form of tourism.</div>

me again, full of ideas.<br>

I propose a tag for holy wells, one of the reasons being that
my local<br>
council wants them mapped and I've been trying to convince
them to use<br>
OSM for a while. Also, because it would entice rural mappers
to get<br>
started and because they play a role in tourism (if you count
pilgrimage<br>
as tourism).<br>

I'm especially interested in other religions' perspective, but
I don't<br>
know if this phenomenon exists outside Christianity and
Paganism.<br>
