St Nonna's Well is a historic site located in the village of Altarnun in Cornwall, England. The well is dedicated to St Nonna, a sixth-century saint known for her miraculous healing powers.

The well itself is a small, stone structure with a natural spring that is believed to have healing properties. It is said that St Nonna used the water from the well to cure the sick and afflicted in the area. Pilgrims have been visiting the well for centuries in hopes of receiving healing and blessings.

The site is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a peaceful and serene atmosphere for visitors. There is a small chapel nearby where visitors can pray and reflect. The well is often decorated with flowers and tokens left by those seeking healing or giving thanks for answered prayers.

St Nonna's Well is a popular destination for both locals and tourists interested in the history and traditions of Cornwall. It is a unique and sacred site that continues to draw visitors seeking spiritual healing and connection with the past.
