St Ann's Well - Public Water Fountain

About

St Ann's Well, located at The Crescent in Buxton, has been a source of the town's famous thermal waters for centuries. Historically significant, it was recognized by Thomas Hobbes in 1678 as one of the 'Wonders of the Peak' for its therapeutic properties. Visitors can fill up their water bottles with the mineral-rich water, which has been a staple for the local community.

The well is also a part of the Buxton Well Dressing Festival, where it is dressed annually in early July, showcasing the town's cultural traditions. It is situated next to The Pump Room and opposite the Natural Baths, making it easily accessible for both locals and tourists alike.
