Buxton
Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire. As it is on the edge of the county boundary, with Cheshire to the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is often described 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 often referred to as England's highest market town. This height means that the town is often cooler than nearby areas, with the daytime temperature being approximately 2 degrees C lower than the temperature in Manchester. Situated on the River Wye and overlooked by Axe Edge Moor, Buxton is historically a spa town as a result of the geothermal spring that rises at a continual temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. The water from the spring flows to St. Ann's Well through a pipe system which is situated opposite the Crescent close to the town centre. Buxton gained a great deal of popularity after the spa was recommended by Erasmus Darwin to Josiah Wedgwood in the later half of the nineteenth century. The water from the geothermal spring is also bottled and sold internationally by Buxton Mineral Water Company. According to the 2011 Census, the population of the town is around 22,115. The town has seen continued growth since the coming of the railway in 1863. There's also a fairly substantial student population, with the Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby being in 1 of Buxton's historic buildings.
