Taff's Well Thermal Spring, Thermal spring in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales.
The thermal spring emerges from the eastern bank of the River Taff and maintains a constant temperature of 21.6 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The first documented visit to the spring was made by chemist D. W. Linden in 1760, marking the beginning of scientific interest in this natural formation.
During the Victorian era, people traveled from different regions to experience the spring water's reported medicinal benefits for treating various ailments.
Visitors can access the spring through Taff's Well park between 10 AM and 4 PM during summer months, with an audio guide providing information inside.
The water emerging at Taff's Well completed a journey lasting between 5,000 and 10,000 years, moving at only 5 meters per year through underground passages.
