Approaching from Petherwin Gate, park at the church (St. Paternus) and on foot follow the road round to the left. Pass the big house on the corner and just before the next house on the right is a tree bordered path.
Take this path and where it ends, go through the gate into a field and keep more or less straight ahead avoiding the rough ground just to your right. The field slopes down to an incomplete fence line at a right angle to your path. The well is tucked into a bank on the far side of the right hand end of the fence.
