Local attractions Angus recommends

A town built on history that first became popular with the Romans who came to bathe in the warm clean spring waters. The buildings reflect the wealth of the times and the fashion of spa towns.

In addition to the famous Buxton spring waters, the Opera House is a major attraction, and every year the town hosts an opera festival. For further details please contact the hotel direct.

THE PEAK DISTRICT & DERBYSHIRE

Although a mainly rural county, Derbyshire delightfully mixes picturesque villages with bustling towns which sprang up in the Industrial Revolution. Derby is the main city with a mixture of shopping, arts and culture. A short drive from the hotel are lots of small villages such as Bakewell.

For a fun day out for all the family, Alton Towers and the American Adventure theme parks are not too far away.

The Peak District has become well known in recent years from the hit television series 'Peak Practice' which is filmed in the county. The area is popular for walking, rock climbing, caving and other outdoor pursuits. Alternatively visit stately homes such as Chatsworth House or Haddon Hall.
