Around 1925 a well on the northern slope of Pendle Hill was referred to as 'Robin Hood's Well'. Its exact location is no longer known.

The well is mentioned twice by a writer of local ramblers' guides (see Allusions below). These passages suggest that the well was situated above Ravens Holme on the northern slope of the hill, on Downham Moor or the piece of land labelled "Great Coppy" on the O.S. maps listed below.
