The site is best accessed by parking in the Forestry Commission carpark on the B8025 where there are 2 carparks both of which access the Loch Collie-Bharr walking track & cycleway … use the second carpark when heading for Tayvallich and take the forestry road/track until a clearing opens up on your right. A trackside sign indicates the easiest access to the well.
