Buxton Pavilion and twenty three acres of pleasure gardens are an oasis of peace and tranquillity with serpentine walks and water features, play areas and leisure facilities, all within a short walk of the main Buxton shopping areas.
Buxton restaurants provide a cosmopolitan choice of cuisine from snack bars and coffee shops to wine bars and high quality restaurants offering gastronomic delights.

There have been visitors to Buxton for centuries – the Old Hall Hotel boasts to being the oldest hotel in England, having played mine host to Mary Queen of Scots. Daniel Defoe also stayed there in 1727 and afterwards wrote “this is indeed a very special place”.
