On the B3181 north of Budlake take the lane leading to Lower Comberoy Farm. About a quarter of a mile down the lane, on the south side, is a wooden gate opening into a small untended wood.
There is no path but if one slithers to the bottom of a small slope and turns around, there waiting for them is a real gem.
This large, rather overgrown wellhouse houses a deep pool of clear water which appears to be being tapped as a water supply, even so a considerable amount flows from the front of the wellhouse making for a wet approach. A wood and wire frame had been placed across the entrance to the wellhouse but was easily moved for this photo.
