DavidCWoods writes... I visited in September 2006, and, after refreshing myself in The Plough in Appleton, took Badswell Lane (a couple of turnings north of the pub on the left). Although tarmaced for a hundred yards or so this quickly becomes a bridle path, with a very muddy patch soon afterwards. Having navigated past this the path narrows and, half a mile or so further on, the well may be seen on the right.
