Templar’s Bath is a historic natural spring located in the Bottesford area of Scunthorpe, England. Thought to have once been an ancient well or bath, the site is now a protected point of interest surrounded by a perimeter fence. While the physical remains are modest—often described by visitors as a simple hole in the ground—it remains a significant piece of local heritage preserved amidst modern residential developments. The site is situated within a pleasant green space, making it a popular waypoint for those walking toward nearby Bull’s Field. Visitors can find an informational sign on-site, though its condition varies. It is best suited for history enthusiasts or locals looking for a quiet moment during an outdoor stroll.

Reviews for Templar’s Bath are generally mixed, with many visitors noting that there is very little to see at the site today. It is frequently described as a small hole in the ground or the simple remains of an old well, protected by a metal fence. Some locals appreciate it as a 'lovely green space' and a convenient waypoint during walks to Bull’s Field. However, others find it underwhelming, mentioning that the site is 'nothing spectacular' and that the informational signage can be difficult to read. For long-time residents, the area holds nostalgic value as a surviving piece of the landscape from before modern housing estates were built. Overall, it is viewed as a minor historical curiosity rather than a major tourist attraction.
