Buxton is easily the most elegant spot in the hills. Walking past the Georgian Crescent or catching a show at the Buxton Opera House, you really feel the town's heritage.

Enjoy The Chakra Lounge for a vibrant brunch or head to Olive Tree for some of the best Mediterranean food in Derbyshire. July is always a whirlwind when the International Festival and Fringe takes over the town; the atmosphere is electric. It’s a great spot for families, too, with Buxton Community School and St Thomas More providing such a solid foundation for local students.
