Buxton, Derbyshire

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Centrally located for exploring the Peak District National Park, though it is not actually within the park boundaries. The town is most well known for its spa waters, which were known to the Romans and the Elizabethans. Mary Queen of Scots took the waters here while she was a prisoner at nearby Chatsworth, but it was left to the 5th Duke of Devonshire to finally develop St. Ann's mineral springs in the 1780s. It was the Duke who built the stables, Assembly Rooms, and Crescent, and made Buxton a popular gathering place for high society. more details ...
