Fice's Well
Devon
Fice's Well is a stone-built well situated on open moorland, a modest but enduring structure that speaks to the long history of water management on Dartmoor. Its age is uncertain, but such wells are typically medieval or earlier, serving as vital water sources for people and livestock across the moor. The name itself is descriptive, preserving the memory of its original purpose and use.
Today the well remains a quiet landmark in the landscape, accessible to walkers crossing the moor. Like many heritage features on Dartmoor, it represents the practical ingenuity of people who lived and worked on the high ground, and offers a tangible connection to the centuries of settlement and activity that have shaped this landscape.
