From Meifod take the A495 to Newbridge and turn left just over the bridge. Follow the road past Lower Hall Farm and around a sharp bend to the right. With a house on your right and immediately before the drive into a house on the left, park near the gate on the left. On foot, follow the farm road uphill with Spout Wood on your right. When the road forks, go through the right hand gate into Spout Wood. Keep a close watch for a post on the right … this marks an indistinct path which leads uphill through gorse bushes for a short way before crossing a wooden footbridge to the well.
