Description

St Patrick's Well is a wellhead that possibly dates back to the 18th century. It is set in a roughly semi-circular recess within a rubble retaining wall, which is topped by a lintel. The kerb stone at the front of the wall is level with the top of a second, lower wall that features a recess with two steps leading up to the well.

Local climate

St Patrick's Well sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,380 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 97% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 69% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
