5. Hargreaves & Son Ltd, 16-18 Spring Gardens Buxton SK17 6DE
Step back in time at one of the oldest businesses in Buxton which has been trading since 1865. The shop is filled with Victorian style furniture exuding old world vibes. Our favourite is the tall dresser filled with fragrant soaps. | Ria Ghei
6. Beer & Bean Café Bar, 8 Cavendish Circus, Buxton SK17 6AT
The place to go when you have a family with varying palates. Fancy a craft beer? Order a hand-pulled pint at the bar. Little ones craving a hot drink? A pistachio latte loaded with whipped cream should do the trick. Try to bag a window seat and you can watch Buxton’s finest go about their daily life. | Ria Ghei
