Buxton

Wednesday 1 July to Friday 3 July

Jane, Tracey, Donna and Hilary 

Wednesday - Town Walk 

We started at the Buxton Visitor Centre (The Pump Room), but couldn't find a walk. Looking on my phone I found the Buxton Heritage walk, starting at the Crescent, so we followed the walk. 

Thursday - Chee Valley walk + Les Liaisons Dangereuses 

Whilst we were so close it seemed a good idea to walk the Chee Dale stepping stones on the River Wye, hidden away just 3 miles from Buxton. The Chee Dale stepping stones are unusual in that they run along the side of the river rather than crossing it, and are often overhung by the cliffs above. 

In the evening we went to watch Les Liaisons Dangereuses at the Pavilion Arts Centre. It was a National Theatre Live production with Lesley Manville and Aidan Turner.

Friday - Buxton Well Dressing + Solomon's Temple 

As we had seen the Well Dressing at the Market Place we decided to have a look at the other wells. Such a lot of work goes into them! We had some lunch in town and then parked up the hill, then walked up to Solomon’s Temple Where there was a good view from the top.
