Description St Ann's well opposite The Crescent and at the bottom of The Slopes. Very easy to find. Having visited Buxton Museum first, and enquired of the well I was told "you might have to wait for people filling up bottles". I smiled scoffingly. A very gentle 5 minute walk downhill, and I found the well - and in the 10 minutes I was there photographing the site, over 20 people stopped to either drink the water directly, splash their faces, or fill up bottles! One woman arriving in her car said she usually has her car boot full of empty bottles to take away. I splashed my face with the water before leaving, and it was very warm indeed. The warmest well water, and most visited well I have ever visited excepting Holywell and Chalice Well.
