Situated at The Crescent in the centre of Buxton, St Ann's Well is an ancient geothermal spring producing approximately one million litres of warm mineral water each day. Revered since Roman times and protected by a sixteenth-century act of parliament, this historic landmark continues to dispense free water emerging from half a mile underground at roughly 27°C.
