Buxton, developed
as a Georgian spa and the buildings and some streets reflect
the Georgian splendour. You can still "take the waters"
at St Ann's Well, the water is warm!
Largely developed
in the Victorian era, it is still a popular town, the highest
in England, on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
Even if you are not walking, the town is well worth a visit.
Tourist and general
chain stores in the town, plus specialist shops. Try the Spring
Gardens Shopping Centre or the shops in the Market Place and

Take a look at the
Crescent with its Georgian facade, the Town Hall (1888), the
Natural Bath building, as well as the restored Opera House.
