East Midlands Tourism

Buxton is an outstanding spa town located in the heart of the Peak District National Park. The world famous mineral water flows at a constant 27.5°C, and the site was popularised by the Romans who established the first bath in the town. Tourists have since travelled from afar to the resort which now contains a wealth of hotels and guesthouses and is ideally placed to visit the nearby surrounding park. Buxton is stage to some magnificent architecture thanks to patronage over the years from the Dukes of Devonshire. The splendid Opera House hosts the annual Buxton Festival which takes place in July and has received some great critical acclaim.
