A Robin Hood's Well high on the east side of Penhill in Wensleydale is included on the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1856.[1] The well is a "natural spring [which] emerges from the hillside running over a few small stones at first but then making its way beneath a slab of rock and plunging down the slopes between rough grass and bracken. Just above the well and overshadowing it is a healthy hawthorn tree, the only surviving one on this exposed shoulder of the hill."[2] Dobson & Taylor note it as "[a] well at the source of a hill stream on Melmerby Moor south of Wensleydale".[3]
