Beautiful Buxton

Hiya, the wanderer has returned, my little family are pleased to see me, blimey I only had three days off. After another belly busting hearty breakfast, I waved my hostel hosts goodbye and went to Buxton for  bimble. Luckily no rain, but an overcast grey sky. Buxton is quite steep and hilly in places, there are shops on an upper level but most of them are on the lower level. The Slopes is a steep landscaped hillside with the Town Hall at the top. 

The Crescent is very similar to The Royal Crescent in Bath.

A monument halfway up the Slopes.

The front of the Town Hall at the top of The Slopes.

And the back view on the higher level.

This is The Devonshire Dome, it was once the worlds largest dome. It started life as an 18th century stable block and in 1854 it was converted into a hospital. Now it is part of the Buxton and Leek College. Information from Wiki.  

The Palace Hotel is a magnificent Victorian building, built in 1868. It has 122 bedrooms, a health club, swimming pool, and has a large ballroom which can accommodate 300 guests. If you fancy a stay there I bet it costs a bit more than the Youth Hostel, ha ha.

The Museum and Art gallery is a nice place to visit. Lots of old stuff to look at, and art exhibitions.

Wonderful buildings in Buxton, I love it here. I've split the photo's in half, so more to come later. I'm off to bed now. Thanks for visiting, catch you tomorrow. Toodle pip.
