点评:Ok so it's £2 entry fee, really going to break the bank ? but it costs a £1000+ per week to maintain the site, and the entry fee doesn't cover that cost. This is a religious site akin to Lourdes and yes there are religious items to be bought in the shop but there is also a lovely little museum giving more detailed history of the shrine.
Bathing. There are two quite basic changing cubicles and I would suggest wearing a swimming costume with a long ( just above knee length) t-shirt over the top. Take your time getting in....it's cool but get used to it. I completely submerged myself and it was fine though I do cold water swim a year round.
We did feel something spiritual about the water and the occasion, that made us feel perhaps warmer that we might otherwise have felt.
There is a café in the church just up the hill, which is now a community centre but also worth exploring.
翻译:好吧,入场费是2英镑,真的要花很多钱吗?但是每周维护场地的费用要1000多英镑,而入场费还不包括这笔费用。这是一个类似于卢尔德的宗教场所,是的,商店里可以买到宗教物品,但还有一个可爱的小博物馆,更详细地介绍了这座圣地的历史。
游泳。有两个相当简单的更衣室,我建议穿泳衣,外面套一件长T恤(刚好过膝盖)。慢慢进去……很凉,但要习惯。我完全泡在水里,感觉还好,虽然我一年四季都在冷水中游泳。
我们确实从水和这个场合感受到了一些精神上的东西,这让我们感觉比平时更温暖。
山上的教堂里有一家咖啡馆,现在是一个社区中心,也值得一逛。
