Brandywell, Isle of Man (Manx: Chibbyr-y-Phunch)[1] or (Manx: Chibbyr Slieau Maggle)[2] is an area of Mountain Lands of heath moorland[3][4] and coniferous woodland plantations situated in the Northern Upland Massif[5] in the parish of Kirk Michael in the Isle of Man. The area was previously used by local shepherds due to a local stream and a nearby former venerated water well which was known for its distinctive quality and "brandy" colour of the water.[6]
