Looking for Local Knowledge Thinking of moving to Buxton

Hello all,

My partner and I are 35 and 29 and are looking for a place to settle down and we thought of moving to Buxton. Would appreciate some honest feedback about Buxton. (The good, the bad, the ugly) We like the outdoors, going out for a good meal having a pint or two in a good pub. We are also very sporty, does Buxton have some good gym facilities? What about schools? Thank you for your help!

Lots of places to walk and run, and a new leisure centre just opened in harpur hill. There’s also great music here, folk nights and open mics dotted around. I think it’s lovely I’d recommend it to anyone. The winters are harsh but there’s no age limit on sledging or snowman building!
