Overview
- Set on the edge of the Peak District, the town is about an hour’s drive from Derby and is recognized as England’s highest market town.
- Mineral springs sourced at St Ann’s Well anchor a long spa tradition and supply the bottled Buxton Water brand.
- Three Shires Head, where Derbyshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire meet, features waterfalls and wild-swimming pools that visitors describe as a "hidden world."
- The area’s favorite route is the Solomon’s Temple circular walk from Buxton Station through Buxton Country Park to the Grin Low viewing tower.
- In the center, the Grade I listed Buxton Crescent Hotel & Thermal Spa offers a rooftop pool and treatments, while the nearby Devonshire Dome spans wider than St Paul’s Cathedral.
