Travel

Buxton is well served by public transport from the surrounding towns or cities. On-site pay and display parking may be accessed from Burlington Rd (£5.40-all day) or at the nearby railway station and Palace Hotel.

Accomodation

We recommend booking in advance due to Buxton’s popularity as a tourist destination. However late bookings can sometimes be sourced via the Premiere Inn and Palace Hotel or you may still find guest house or pub accomodation around the town? For those willing to travel half an hour you may find cheaper accommodation in Leek or Macclesfield.
