A spa town in Derbyshire, rich in heritage and culture is on our top places to visit this year.
We think it’s a really good alternative to rival spa town Bath.
Buxton is often named by lifestyle experts as the place to be.
Recent accolades include being named one of the most affordable family staycation spots.
We are big fans of Buxton’s cobbled streets, vibrant independent shopping district and its rich heritage.
From visiting a quaint chocolatier, to enjoying a stay at the grand Buxton Crescent Hotel, here are 10 magical things to do in Buxton this autumn.

9. Cat & Fiddle Pub and Forest Distillery, Buxton Road, Macclesfield SK11 0AR
We know this pub isn’t strictly Buxton, however Cat & Fiddle is just 10 minutes away from Buxton centre. The pub is one of the highest in England - second only to Cumbria’s The Tan Hill Inn. Sink a pint at the Cat & Fiddle and on a sunny day, be rewarded with stunning views from the pub that stands 1,689 feet above sea level. There is also a distillery onsite where you can taste the magical elixir that is gin. | Ria Ghei
10. Lovage Restaurant by Lee Smith, Bath Street, Bakewell DE45 1DS
We couldn’t resist including this critically acclaimed restaurant on our list which is just 22-minutes’ drive from central Buxton. Famous diners include Tom Cruise, while the cast of Mission Impossible got snap happy posting selfies outside the restaurant. | Ria Ghei
