Nearby Buxton

There are lots of other attractions nearby Buxton, apart from the obvious Peak District beauty in the surrounding landscape. Named Pride And Prejudice Country, Buxton is in the heart of the Peak District surrounded by the National Park. Chatsworth house and park is magnificent and very easy to get to and if it stately homes you like then consider Haddon Hall, neglected throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, but lovingly restored and welcoming, allowing visitor to soak up the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. If you like going back in time, then why not grab a tram at Crich Tramway Museum?
