Dist:0.7km<br/>Madron Well Chapel is over 100 metres from the 'actual' Madron Holy Well, but it contains a stone trough of running water in the corner which was also considered to be a holy well. In 1640 the cripple John Trelille came and bathed once a week for three weeks and was cured. In the past two years a lot has been done to tidy up and improve access to the chapel remains, which are out in the fields north of Madron village. The path there from the neat car parking area is smooth and well-surfaced, there is a new drystone wall and gate to the chapel area and the chapel building has been cleared of invading plants.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This tree is alongside the gravel path to Madron Well Chapel, and is hung with clouties (pieces of rags and clothing) which is a traditional custom originally carried out to ask the well spirits to cure illnesses and hurts. The actual Madron Holy Well is about 70 metres west of this point at SW44553274 but it is not easy to get to because of the wet conditions underfoot. It is much easier to continue along the path to the ruined chapel where there is another well basin which was also considered to be a holy well.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The footpath here goes straight through the middle of the field. If you are in a group I'm sure the farmer would appreciate it if you walked in single file and tried not trample any more of the crop.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Standing on the hedge bank by a footpath stile at the road junction gets you an unusual view of a Cornish hedge and a spectacular view over Mounts Bay.
