Park in the County Gate carpark on the A39. From the information kiosk cross the A39 and turn left to join the County Gate to Culbone track. Pass through a high gate and soon the way is steep and rough down to where the track forks. Take the right hand fork and very soon the well will be down on your left. The ranger at the information kiosk was very helpful.
