St Ann's Well is a historic spring where visitors can taste Buxton's naturally warm mineral water, believed to have health-giving properties since Roman times. Housed in a small stone shelter near the town center, the well continuously flows at a constant temperature of 28°C (82°F). Locals and tourists alike stop by to fill bottles or simply sip from the fountain. It's a free, unique experience that connects you to Buxton's spa heritage.
