The water arises from beneath a stone built and pitched roofed well house and fills a long bath structure. This was filled with water cress which I removed temporarily for the photograph. The waters are said to be healing.
Thorgrim adds: It is on Treloy Farm and as mentioned, permission is required to visit it. According to Cheryl Straffon in her excellent guide to Cornish wells "Fentynyow Kernow" - you have to cross several muddy fields and negotiate bogs and brier. The effort is worth it for the tranquil atmosphere that pervades (so I'm told)
