The Slopes, Grade II listed garden in Buxton, England
The Slopes features multiple terraced footpaths crossing a grassed bank between the Town Hall and St Ann's Well, facing historical buildings including The Crescent.
Landscape architect Jeffry Wyatville designed The Slopes in 1811 for William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire, as grounds for hotel guests to walk.
The garden displays twelve Grade II listed limestone urns on gritstone plinths, emphasizing the local architectural heritage of the Georgian period.
The public garden remains accessible throughout the year, positioned centrally between Higher Buxton and the town center near multiple transportation links.
A Met Office climate monitoring station operates on The Slopes above the war memorial, collecting weather data for the region.
