Buxton
The London Standard
|March 12, 2026
This historical spa and market town is a perfect gateway for exploring the stately homes of Derbyshire and soul-stirring landscapes of the Peak District.
Perched on the edge of the Peak District's uplands, Buxton wears its heritage on its sleeve. Its Georgian crescents and Victorian halls recall an era when visitors came to take the waters' from mineral springs that still flow today. It's an old market town, and the centre remains full of independent shops and cafes.
Take a day to explore on foot; little details reveal themselves as you go, whether it’s the splash of a pond in the Botanical Conservatory or the curve of a terrace in the glow of golden hour.
The surrounding corner of Derbyshire has more architectural highlights, including grand stately homes just a 30-minute drive away. But Buxton's biggest calling card is perhaps its location on the doorstep of the Peak District National Park. With limestone hills, wooded gorges and open moors all within easy reach, this is an ideal base for exploring one of the UK's finest expanses of countryside.
How should I spend a day about town?
