The Offaquelle is a freshwater spring, which lies today in the loop. It is linked to a legend about King Offa. He is said to have been King of the Angles, a young but sick man who was said to have bathed here in the spring and thus gained health. The city has built a well on the beach in memory of the now silted up source.
