Ben Newe Sacred Well View all content for Ben Newe

I parked on the west side of Ben Newe, where two forestry roads meet to get onto the minor road, just to the south of Eastertown. Heading east I jumped the burn, near the dam, and followed the track as it headed north as it ends it turns into a walkers track and heads east. This section for about a 200 meters was tricky as it was covered knee deep in snow. Keep going uphill, following a fence and old dry stane dyke until you meet a larger track. Cross this and follow the track to the summit. Unluckily for me the water in the well was frozen. Stunning views especially to the west where the Cairngorms were covered in snow. When the wind dropped it was warm, when windier it was freezing. Good to return to Ben Newe via a different route. Visited 12/04/2021.
