Welcome to Buxton the Cultural Capital of the Peak District. As a Spa Town, Buxton has been a popular holiday resort for centuries. Based at the heart of the Peak District in the county of Derbyshire, England and blessed with stunning scenery, magnificent architecture, a wealth of shops, and a thriving arts scene. Coupled with its world-famous spa water, Buxton has plenty to offer any visitor.

There is a splendid Crescent, ornamental gardens, an Opera House and the largest unsupported dome in the country. The Opera House is host to the annual Buxton Festival, and a number of venues around the town contribute to the largest Festival Fringe in England. Situated just over a thousand feet up in the Derbyshire hills, Buxton’s also the ideal base for climbing, caving, mountain biking, walking, bird watching, horse riding, gliding and much much more.

We hope you find this site to be interesting, useful and informative, and look forward to welcoming you to Buxton soon.

Enjoy your visit!
