The town’s famed natural spring is in the park between the tourist office and Palmgate Centre. Discovered in 1801, the prolific spring produces about 20 million litres of water a day – without fail. Trees ring the clear pond, where sizeable fish dart beneath the lily pads. It's a pleasant enough spot for a picnic, although litter can be a problem.
