Buxton is a spa town within Derbyshire. It is on the border 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'. Initially a municipal borough, Buxton joined other locations in 1974 to establish the local government district and borough of High Peak within the county of Derbyshire. Being 300 metres above sea level, Buxton is believed to be England's highest market town. This height means that the town is normally cooler than nearby places, with the daytime temperature being approximately two degrees Celsius lower than the temperature in Manchester. Found on the River Wye and overlooked by Axe Edge Moor, Buxton is historically a spa town due to the geothermal spring that rises at a constant temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. The water from the spring flows to St. Ann's Well by way of a pipe system which is located opposite the Crescent close to the town centre. Buxton reached considerable recognition when the spa was recommended by Erasmus Darwin to Josiah Wedgwood in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The water from the geothermal spring is also bottled and sold on an international scale by Buxton Mineral Water Company. Based on the 2011 Census, the resident population of the town is approximately 22,000. The town has seen continuous growth since the coming of the railway in 1863. There's also a fairly prominent student population, with the Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby being in 1 of Buxton's historic buildings.
