The Moffat Well

became famous for its curative powers

The water was eventually piped into the town, and established Moffat as a spa town.

From there we'll head back down Well Road, and cross the field to Gallow Hill, which benefits the community of Moffat and District area, visitors and for future generations, then making our way back.
