The eight thermal springs in Buxton have a constant temperature of 28 degrees centigrade, which is what first drew the Romans to the area. The beautiful semicircular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens, and The Opera House were all conceived and constructed during the 18th and 19th centuries, though, under the patronage of succeeding Dukes of Devonshire.
These spectacular structures and grounds, as well as the Opera House's full schedule and yearly festivals of music and the arts, are still enjoyed by visitors today.
With rocky peaks to the north, pleasant hills and dales to the south, and a number of charming villages, there is wonderful walking to be had. Villages worth checking out include Edale, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton and Bakewell with loads of attractive stately homes to be admired including Haddon Hall and the infamous Chatsworth House.
The ultimate in “year-round” appeal, the Peak District offers countryside, picturesque villages and magnificent scenery. It touches upon six counties and encloses 555 square miles of open moorland, flowing rivers, and wooded dales.
Short breaks may still be available.
