Buxton
Buxton is a spa town within Derbyshire. It is on the edge of the county boundary, with Cheshire towards the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is often described as 'The Gateway to the Peak District National Park'. Originally a municipal borough, Buxton joined with 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 often called England's highest market town. Such height means that the town is usually cooler than nearby places, with the daytime temperature being roughly two 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 due to the geothermal spring that rises at a constant temperature of 28 degrees C. The water from the spring flows to St. Ann's Well through a pipe system which is situated opposite the Crescent in close proximity to the town centre. Buxton reached significant popularity 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 on an international scale by Buxton Mineral Water Company. As per the 2011 Census, the permanent population of the town is approximately 22,115. The town has seen continued expansion since the coming of the railway in 1863. There is also a fairly significant student population, with the Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby being in one of Buxton's historic buildings.
