Buxton
Buxton is a spa town within Derbyshire. Due to its position on the border of the county boundary, with Cheshire to the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is generally described as 'The Gateway to the Peak District National Park'. Historically a municipal borough, Buxton joined other localities in 1974 to create the local government district and borough of High Peak in the county of Derbyshire. At 300 metres above sea level, Buxton is thought to be England's highest market town. This height means that the town is frequently cooler than nearby areas, with the daytime temperature being roughly 2 degrees Celsius lower than the temperature in Manchester. Found on the River Wye and overlooked by Axe Edge Moor, Buxton is traditionally a spa town as a result of 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 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 latter half of the 19th century. The water from the geothermal spring is also bottled and sold internationally by Buxton Mineral Water Company. As per the 2011 Census, the permanent population of the town is roughly 22,000. The town has witnessed continuous expansion since the coming of the railway in 1863. There's also a relatively substantial student population, with the Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby being in 1 of Buxton's historic buildings.
