Top 5 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Buxton, England

May 13, 2022 Stefan Strunk

Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire, in the East Midlands region of England. It has the highest elevation – about 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level – of any market town in England. Close to the county boundary with Cheshire to the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is described as "the gateway to the Peak District National Park". A municipal borough until 1974, Buxton was then merged with other localities lying primarily to the north, including Glossop, to form the local government district and borough of High Peak within the county of Derbyshire. Despite being in the East Midlands, economically Buxton is within the sphere of influence of Greater Manchester. The population of the town was 22,115 at the 2011 Census.

Three Shires Heads

Reviewed By weedy3883

Fabulous 4 mile circular walk. Park at clough house car park SK11 0BD Plenty of car parking spaces But no facilities. Offering a really good mix of farm tracks, rocky paths, along the Brooks and rivers and also fields and woods. The 3 shires head is about half way so a perfect stopping point for packed lunch. This is one of favourite walks

The Devonshire Dome

Reviewed By NB1957

Open to the public and the staff are welcoming, this is one of the many "must sees" in Buxton. It is such an impressive structure, once the worlds biggest unsupported dome and still the largest in Europe, they really knew how to build to impress in the 18th century and there is such elegance about it as well. It is hard to believe that this magnificent structure was built for horses with accommodation provided for servants and ostlers. Wander around and admire and there is also a cafe if you wish to sit and enjoy the surroundings. It must be a wonderful venue for concerts etc.

St Ann's Well

Reviewed By Oostende42 - Newark-on-Trent, United Kingdom

Free sort flowing water filtered for thousands of years through the limestone hills and noted for its health benefits. Take your own containers for this free water from the well that never dries up.
