Tewit Well, Historic water well pavilion in Harrogate, England.

The pavilion features a circular dome supported by twelve Tuscan columns, with six standing on a plinth and six shorter ones on pedestals.

William Slingsby discovered this first chalybeate source in 1571, noting its similarity to waters at Spa in Belgium and establishing Harrogate's spa heritage.

The name derives from the local term for lapwing birds that frequently gather on The Stray, the 200-acre public parkland surrounding the well.

Located on Cherry Tree Walk within The Stray, the Grade II* listed structure stands among paths lined with cherry trees on both sides.

The pavilion's dome is constructed from modern fiberglass, replacing the original structure that was moved from the Royal Pump Room in 1842.
