Are you a sceptic or a believer? Join Discover Buxton on a gentle stroll around Lower Buxton and find out more about the town’s thermal mineral waters, once known as a cure for anything that may ail you. We look at the properties of the water, hear tales of their impact and track their medicinal use through the centuries.

This route is wheelchair accessible but features uneven pavements, inclines and a small hill.
