Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire, England. It has the highest elevation of any market town in England. Located close to the County Boundary with Cheshire to the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is described as “the gateway to the Peak District National Park”.A municipal borough until 1974, Buxton was then merged with other localities including Glossop, lying primarily to the north, to form the local government district and borough of High Peak within the county of Derbyshire.Buxton is within the sphere of influence of Greater Manchester due to its close proximity to the area.
Buxton is home to Poole’s Cavern, an extensive limestone cavern open to the public, and St Ann’s Well, fed by the geothermal spring bottled and sold internationally by Buxton Mineral Water Company. Also in the town is the Buxton Opera House, which hosts several music and theatre festivals each year. The Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby is housed in one of the town’s historic buildings.Buxton is twinned with two other towns: Oignies in France and Bad Nauheim in Germany.
The Romans developed a settlement known as Aquae Arnemetiae (or the spa of the goddess of the grove).The discovery of coins indicate the Romans were in Buxton throughout their occupation.
