Buxton, Spa town in High Peak, England
Buxton stands at 1,000 feet above sea level in the Derbyshire hills, making it the highest market town in England.
The Romans established a settlement called Aquae Arnemetiae at Buxton, using the natural thermal springs for their therapeutic properties.
The Buxton Opera House, opened in 1903, serves as the main venue for the annual Buxton Festival featuring opera and literary events.
Visitors can reach the natural spring water at St Ann's Well in the town center, where it emerges at a constant temperature of 28°C.
The Crescent, built between 1780 and 1784, mirrors the architecture of Bath's Royal Crescent and represents Georgian design in the Peak District.
