BUXTON’S Renaissance No wonder Buxton is one of the most popular tourist

destinations in the Peak District.

In recent years the spa town’s famous Georgian

architecture has provided an impressive backdrop to

a rich and vibrant growth in a whole range of cultural

activities. Add to this the stunning ornamental gardens,

a wealth of independent and high street shopping

opportunities, an ever expanding choice of cafes, bars

and restaurants, and you begin to see why there really

is something of a renaissance.

Buxton is known as the Gateway to the Peak District,

and it’s a great base for all that the national park has

to offer, but there’s so much going on in the town itself

that you might find yourself hard pressed to leave.

Welcome to Buxton

Out and AboutBuxton is also home to The Pavilion Gardens, 23

acres of award winning ornamental gardens including

serpentine walkways, children’s play areas, lake and

a miniature railway. There is a historic Winter Gardens

conservatory linking the Opera House with the main

complex. The building houses a café and espresso

coffee bar, the Pavilion Arts Centre (home to the Buxton

Adventure Festival held each Autumn), Art Café, Gallery

in the Gardens with a large retail area and the Tourist

Information Centre. Fairs and markets are held in the

Octagon throughout the year, or dine in the café and

enjoy a stroll around the gardens, maybe taking a ride on

the miniature steam train. Take the Heritage Trail (page

20) to find out more about these gems. Or for a trail with

a difference, pick up the Buxton Real Ale Trail from the

Tourist Information Centre.

The University of Derby’s Buxton campus is set under

the Devonshire Dome which is the largest unsupported

dome in the country with a diameter of 174ft and open to

visitors all year round. Guided tours, a bistro, fine dining,

and spa and beauty treatments (the Spa can be used on

its own or as part of a treatment package including the

luxury spa days) are available to book. A visit to view the

interior of The Dome is a must!

Wonder of the PeakHop on to Buxton’s latest mode of transport –

a Victorian styled electric Tram called Wonder of the

Peak which leaves hourly from in front of the Opera

House and takes you on a journey to showcase the very

best of the town, including Higher Buxton and Poole’s

Cavern. Our other tours include Well Dressing and

Buxton Pudding fair.

Steeped in HistoryFamous for its natural spring water and Georgian architecture, the town

was founded by the Romans who called it Aquae Arnemetiae or Spa of

the Goddess of the Grove. But it was the fifth Duke of Devonshire who

put Buxton on the tourist map with development in 1780’s - the centre

piece being the Georgian Crescent, soon to reopen as a 5 Star

Spa Hotel. The town’s rich history features Roman settlers, royal

prisoners, outlaws and noble benefactors.

even Alton Towers are all within easy reach.

What’s on?

Adventure & discoverySet in the heart of the magnificent Peak District,

it’s not surprising that a huge range of outdoor

activities from climbing, canoeing, caving, cycling

and walking are available. Buxton now has an

Adventure Festival with speakers, films and events.

Poole’s Cavern show caves are just outside the

town (and can be reached by the Wonder of the

Peak tram). Or explore Buxton Country Park, home

to an aerial rope walk, Grin Low Woods and Corbar

Cross.

The Rambling Club organises two walks most

Sundays, all of which start from the Pavilion

Gardens’ car park.

Buxton Crescent HotelThermal Spa Company LimitedBuxton Crescent, one of the nation’s most important

buildings, was created by the Fifth Duke of

Devonshire with John Carr of York, one of the leading

architects of the 18th century to challenge Bath as a

thermal water spa resort.

Buxton Crescent Hotel

Linked to the Natural Baths, the building with ingenuity included

two hotels, one of which accommodated a majestic ballroom

and between them six lodging houses. Over 200 years ago, the

Duke and his architect’s vision foresaw today’s international

plethora of spa hotels but Buxton has a special advantage -

we are blessed with Grade 1 Georgian Architecture and Natural

Thermal Water.

Our project is to restore, update and reinterpret to the highest of

contemporary standards the concept borne of a great Georgian

partnership.

We hope to open the first hotel of its kind and certainly the

first to open its doors in Buxton for over a century. The heart of

Buxton will beat once more and the Town will really be “Buxton

Spa” attracting visitors from across the world. In this endeavour,

we are working with the Town to realise a shared ambition to

restore the architectural heritage and the Town’s reputation

for health and well-being alongside its gained reputation for

culture, art and hospitality delivered with glamour and panache.

THE SLOPES rising in front of the Crescent were designed by Sir Jeffry Wyatville in 1818 and modified by Joseph Paxton in 1840. If you follow the paths through the trees you will notice that together with the Crescent they form a complete circle.

At the top of the Slopes, stands the imposing TOWN HALL, designed by William Pollard in 1889.

THE MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY has since 1928 occupied part of the former Peak Hydropathic Hotel. There is a permanent gallery enhanced throughout the year by exhibitions, workshops and events.

THE MARKET PLACE, officially the highest in England, is ringed by some of the older buildings of the town which make up the Higher Buxton shopping area. It has an open market every Saturday and Tuesday. Here you will also find a variety of pubs, restaurants, wine bars and clubs.

The MARKET CROSS, relocated in 1813 to mark the Royal Charter awarded to Buxton Market is situated on the Town Hall Piazza.

A walk down High Street will bring you to ST ANNE’S CHURCH, built in 1625, just off Bath Road. A walk down Market Street from the Market Place leads directly to ST MARY’S, a fine example

of an Arts and Crafts building, built in 1914.

At the bottom of HALL BANK, an elegant line of town houses dating from the 1790s, you come onto BROAD WALK, a fashionable terrace of houses designed by a variety of prominent architects from the 1860s to the 1880s.

THE PAVILION GARDENS, designed by Edward Milner and opened in 1871 on 23 acres of land given by the 7th Duke of Devonshire, were restored to the original layout in 2000. Here, along the banks of the River Wye, are the imposing Bandstand, the ‘Snail Back’ garden, miniature railway and lakes filled with a variety of water birds and the six-metre fountain.

THE PAVILION, originally the Winter Gardens, now houses a cafe, coffee bar, conservatory, shops and the Pavilion Arts Centre restored to its former glory and re-opened as a flexible performance and conference venue in 2010.

THE OCTAGON, designed by Robert Rippon Duke was opened in 1876. It now houses a variety of fairs, auctions, concerts and events.

Next door, is the SPA SWIMMING POOL & FITNESS CENTRE.

THE OPERA HOUSE, designed by Frank Matcham, was opened in 1903 and restored in 1979. One of the finest provincial theatres, it presents.........

THE CRESCENT was built by the fifth Duke of Devonshire in 1784 to provide accommodation for visitors attracted to the town by the health-giving Spa. Designed by John Carr to rival the Royal Crescent at Bath, it was a Georgian ‘leisure centre’ with two hotels, apartments, shops, coffee and card rooms and a magnificent Assembly Room. Work is now in progress to restore this Grade 1 listed building to its former glory.

THE PUMP ROOM opposite was built in 1894 by Henry Currey as an addition to the ‘water treatments’ of the time and in use until 1981. It will be re-opened as part of the Crescent Development.

THE NATURAL BATHS, on the site of the original Roman Bath, was built between 1851 and 1854 and will form the centre piece of the Spa Pool and treatment rooms of the hotel.

To the right of the Crescent is the CAVENDISH ARCADE. Originally designed as a thermal bath in 1854, it now serves as a speciality shopping arcade. It features the original plunge bath and the interior still has most of its Minton tiling and a striking glass barrel vaulted ceiling by Brian Clark.

By the Cavendish Arcade is TURNER’S MEMORIAL, erected in 1879 at a cost of £224 in memory of a local benefactor Samuel Turner. Restored in 1994.

Presented to the Town in 1940, the prominent ST ANN’S WELL is constantly fed with Spring Water at a temperature of 28° Centigrade and stands next to the Pump Room.

Nearby, at the entrance to Spring Gardens, is THE CHILDREN’S WELL. Made of pink granite, it was presented to the Town in 1886.

a varied programme of music, drama, comedy and dance throughout the year.

Opposite the Opera House you will see an original ‘Penfold’ VICTORIAN POSTBOX installed in 1867.

ST JOHN’S CHURCH was designed by John White & Son in 1811 in a neo classical ‘Tuscan’ style. The church is not only a place of worship, but also home to the Buxton Musical Society. The designers were also responsible for the colonnaded town houses in THE SQUARE.

Dominating the Buxton skyline is the dome of the DEVONSHIRE CAMPUS of Derby University. The Dome, with a circumference of 46 metres, built by Robert Rippon Duke in 1882 for the Royal Devonshire Hospital, sits on the original building by John Carr which housed the horses and servants of the guests of the Crescent hotels. The general public are welcome to use the many facilities, including restaurant, coffee shop, hair salon, and holistic Spa.

Next door to the University is the imposing PALACE HOTEL. Completed in 1868 it was one of a number of grand hotels built for the numerous Spa visitors.

The great FAN WINDOW by Joseph Paxton is all that is left of the two Fan Windows that sat at the ends of the Railway Stations.

The fifth Duke of Devonshire built THE OLD COURT HOUSE which now houses a variety of speciality shops.

The oldest building in Buxton is part of THE OLD HALL HOTEL. It was originally built by the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury and housed the captive Mary, Queen of Scots, who visited a number of times between 1573 and 1584 to take the waters.

Just outside the town, is POOLE’S CAVERN, one of the seven Wonders of the Peak, extending for over 300 metres into the limestone of the hillside above the town. Visited by prehistoric cave dwellers, Celtic and Roman visitors, medieval outlaws and Elizabethan Royalty.

Poole’s Cavern has a wealth of history and legend as well as spectacular stalactite formations. Conducted tours are available all year round. Together with GO APE, an aerial forest Adventure through the trees of The Country Park, or a walk up to SOLOMON’S TEMPLE, there is much to do and see.

The Victorian CIRCULAR PARK ESTATE, like other parts of Buxton, was laid out by Joseph Paxton. In the middle is the Cricket Ground, ringed by houses of varied architectural styles including a former residence of Vera Britten and the LEE WOOD HOTEL.

Activities for all the family Whatever your age or interests, Buxton has

something to see or do which will make your

visit truly memorable. From artistic and cultural

pursuits to the extremes of physical adventure in

our undisputably great outdoors, there is always

something new to try whatever the time of year.

And there’s no need to worry about the weather.

The town has so much to offer come sun, rain or

even snow!

Attractions & activities

High EnergyIf you crave physical pursuits then you won’t be

short of choice with activities from go-karting to

golf and swimming to horse riding. Explore the

heights with Go Ape, the high wire forest adventure

course or journey beneath the earth at Poole’s

Cavern. And don’t forget, this is the Peak District;

we are surrounded by a natural playground just

perfect for walking, caving, climbing and cycling.

High MindedBuxton is justifiably proud of its cultural life and

you’ll find much to suit all tastes. Art, music, opera

and the performing arts at the Opera House,

Pavilion Arts Centre, Gallery in the Gardens

and Green Man Art Gallery. There are plenty

of opportunities for the creative person to get

involved with including workshops and events.

Relax-it’s a Spa TownIf relaxation is top of your agenda make an

appointment at The Devonshire Spa housed in the

stunning Dome.

Most of the town’s attractions are in easy walking

distance of one another but if you’d like to see

Buxton’s exceptional architecture from another

vantage point, why not take a ride on the Wonder

of the Peak tram?

Keeping the kids happyChildren love the miniature train and playgrounds

in Pavilion Gardens and there’s plenty more to

explore at the Buxton Museum and Art Gallery

(look out for the bear!). There’s a new indoor play

centre, plus the special events and workshops run

by the Opera House, and others during school

holiday periods.

A warmWElcome Buxton was built for visitors and the accommodation

reflects the long history of people coming to the heart

of the Peaks for a variety of reasons. As long ago as

the sixteenth century, visitors came to take the waters

at the ‘New Hall’, the oldest hotel in England. Now,

they come to meet friends, take in a show at the

Opera House or Arts Centre, attend a wedding, walk

in the hills or simply to relax on a short break and

take in the sights.

Accommodation

A Touch of LuxuryBuxton has more than its share of top quality

hotels, from the historic Old Hall Hotel which

housed Mary, Queen of Scots in the1500’s, to the

grand Palace Hotel, built in the style of the grand

spa hotels, the Lee Wood Hotel and the many

others in and around the town.

Spoilt for ChoiceAs you might expect there are many very

comfortable Georgian and Victorian hotels

in the town, as well as a healthy choice of

boutique guest houses, pubs, and cosy bed and

breakfast establishments, providing the perfect

accommodation for every requirement.

Home from HomeSelf Catering apartments may be just what you

need, and there are plenty of opportunities for

caravan and holiday home rentals. Check out Lime

Tree Park for instance, a caravan and campsite

situated in its own wooded valley yet within easy

reach of the town.

A stay in Buxton means you are never more than a

ten minute walk from restaurants, attractions and

the town centre. To find a bed that suits you and

your family, contact the Tourist Information Office on

01298 25106 or visit one of the following web sites.
