Taking the footpath eastwards from the main road just below the church and then deviating up the hill just beyond a fence through the thinnest of the gorse, brings you to a slight dip just beyond another fence, which seems to be Knox Well. It was dry when visited and hardly worth the effort. In 1848 it was Knock Well, and gave its name to the hillside, an aspect which has vanished from modern maps.
