Dupath Well

Dupath Well is said to cure whooping cough. It marks the site of a legendary confrontation between Gottlieb and Sir Colam. They fought over the affections of a woman, but both died. The small chapel-like building that is home to Dupath Well is a nearly intact well house. It is constructed of locally sourced Cornish granite ashlar and spans a spring.
