Many people consider Buxton an insular place, cut off and removed from the action of the world stage. Indeed, a place referred to by some historians as a ‘sleepy hollow’, it has long been isolated by its geographic position. This is perhaps why, for many during the Second World War, Buxton became a place of safety for many Jewish refugees and evacuees. Retrace their footsteps on a walk with Netta Christie and Discover Buxton Tours as she uncovers a hidden history.

Strictly limited to 15 people.
