Is Buxton a spa town?

Yes, Buxton is one of the UK’s top spa towns. Its history as a health spa dates back to Roman times and it was developed as a spa town in the 18th century to compete with Bath. The 5th Duke of Devonshire built The Crescent in 1788, which later became a hotel offering access to the baths fed from the geothermal springs.
