Robin Hood's Well was located close to the river bed, not far from the former Robin Hood Inn.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-06.

Joseph Hunter noted in 1819 (see Allusions) that Robin Hood's Well had, "from time immemorial", been the name of a well near River Loxley. No one now seems to know where the well was located, but it is clear from Hunter that it was found somewhere very near the river in Little Matlock. Note that though they claim the well had long been named after Robin Hood, all surviving sources to mention it were written after Thomas Halliday landscaped Cliff Rocher into the summer outing spot Little Matlock. A well within the grounds connected with the outlaw "from time immemorial" must have been an added attraction.
