Buxton

As the largest town in the Peak District, the elegant spa town of Buxton is known for its Georgian architecture, natural springs, and cultural heritage. Stroll through the Pavilion Gardens, visit the Buxton Crescent and Pump Room, or explore Poole’s Cavern—a vast limestone cave with dramatic formations and a rich history. For panoramic views, climb to Solomon’s Temple above the town.

Buxton is home to one of England’s finest examples of Edwardian theatre—the Buxton Opera House—which hosts a vibrant calendar of performances and festivals. The town also features independent shops, cosy cafés, and a lively market scene. It’s a great half-day destination for guests seeking history, architecture, and a touch of Victorian charm.
