St Petroc’s Holy Well is to be found in the public park that extends east from the town centre. It sits below Priory Road beyond the football pitch, where only dog walkers and teenagers wander. There is very good evidence that the two pre-eminent wells of Bodmin have swapped names, this originally being called St. Guron’s rather than St. Petroc’s well.
