Isaac’s Well opened in 1849 to supply fresh water to the village of Allendale Town. Travelling tea seller and local philanthropist Isaac Holden was the driving force behind the well. The Grade II-listed structure marks the start of the Isaac’s Tea Trail, which follows the 37-mile (60 km) loop Isaac hiked to sell tea to isolated farms and villages.
