Solomon Temple 2
Solomon Temple 3

Dominating the skyline towards the south of Buxton, is Solomon's Temple. Built in the 1890s, it stands at an altitude of 1,440 feet on a bronze age barrow.

The view afforded to the visitor of this temple is well worth trekking to its lofty heights.

On a clear day, it offers exhilarating views across the town and as far away as Mam Tor, (the iron age settlement that stands proud on the horizon), towards the north-east and the area known in this part of the Derbyshire Peak District as "Dark Peak".

It's also where the Pennine Way begins at Edale.
