Free time in the spa town of Buxton

Nestled in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales this quintessential English gem is known for its rich history, stunning architecture, independent shops and rejuvenating spa waters.

One of Buxton’s crowning jewels is the grandeur of its architecture, with the historic Buxton Crescent taking centre stage. This stunning Georgian building, once a fashionable spa destination, has been meticulously restored. Experience the heritage of the building through the interactive experience located within the building itself. Tickets can be purchased from the Buxton Visitor Centre in the Grade II-listed Pump Room opposite.

Take in the classical architecture, charming arcades and pedestrianised streets as you enjoy the wide range of independent and unique shops complementing the treasured, national retailing brands. Explore the boutique shops of the Cavendish Arcade in the atmospheric old hot baths and the gift shop in The Pump Room.

Fill up your water bottles with free Buxton Water at St Ann’s Well, stop for a coffee in the historic centre of the town or take a stroll through the Pavilion Gardens and Winter Conservatory, with maybe an ice cream on the promenade.
