    Tips

    September 11, 2023

    Crystal Well is the romantic name for the spring here, which was a good source of water for the Benrig House at the top of the hill. In the mid-1800s, the Elliot family built a pump to help with the carrying of the water back to the house. The old pumping house can be seen here, and there is a good information plaque placed here as well.
