Isaac's Well

Restored Victorian well in Allendale, start and finish of Isaac's Tea Trail

A Grade II listed well in Allendale, paid for in 1849 by the lead miner and travelling tea-seller Isaac Holden. The village restored it in 2026. It is the start and finish of Isaac's Tea Trail, a long-distance walk through the Allen valleys and Weardale. The pin is approximate.
