The well is reached by locating the junction of Mill Road and Barrack Square and following the path beside the house named Spring Steps. The muddy track leads eventually to the steps, supposedly leading to the well - in fact they lead to a point about 15 feet away from it, with a scrabble across a muddy cliff needed to reach it.
Bearing in mind that a main road runs along the base of the cliff, I wouldn't recommend trying this in wet weather - it's very slippery!
The well was renamed in honour of the first Queen Elizabeth at the time of her visit in 1573.
