This natural spring is found just by the side of the road and features a lions head and the remains of a chain where a cup has been attached.
There are a number of plaques with some unusual inscriptions.
Man made the trough
The water God bestows
Then praise his name
From whom the blessing flows
John Allan
Hempsyke 1856
Weary stranger here you see
An emblem of true charity
Richly my bounty I bestow
Made by a kindly hand to flow
And I have fresh supplies from heaven
For every cup of water given
John Allan
Hempsyke 1858
The stream is pure as if from heaven it ran
And while I praise the Lord I’ll thank the man
Tramp 1864
Terrible poetry wasn’t invented by our generation then.
