Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire. It is on the edge of the county boundary, with Cheshire towards the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is generally known as ‘The Gateway to the Peak District National Park’. Traditionally a municipal borough, Buxton joined other localities in 1974 to establish the local government district and borough of High Peak in the county of Derbyshire. At 300 metres above sea level, Buxton is often described as England’s highest market town. Such height means that the town is frequently cooler than nearby places, with the daytime temperature being around two degrees C lower than the temperature in Manchester. Situated on the River Wye and overlooked by Axe Edge Moor, Buxton is traditionally a spa town because of the geothermal spring that rises at a continual temperature of 28 degrees C. The water from the spring flows to St. Ann’s Well through a pipe system which is positioned opposite the Crescent close to the centre of Buxton. Buxton gained a great deal of recognition after the spa was recommended by Erasmus Darwin to Josiah Wedgwood in the later half of the 19th century. The water from the geothermal spring is also bottled and sold internationally by Buxton Mineral Water Company. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the permanent population of the town is about 22,000. The town has witnessed continuous growth since the coming of the railway in 1863. There’s also a fairly significant student population, with the Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby being in one of Buxton’s historic buildings.
