The Slopes Buxton
Opposite Turners Memorial, The Crescent and off Terrace Road and Hall Bank
These Grade II listed Georgian landscaped gardens with trees, walkways and The Cenotaph at its centrepiece offer attractive views of Buxton with it’s gently raised ‘slope’ at the centre.
It is also home to Buxton Weather Station.
The Slopes in Buxton is thought to have been designed and laid out by Jeffry Wyatville c. 1818, who worked at the time for 6th Duke of Devonshire. It was once known as St. Ann’s Cliff.
Ideal for watching entertainment during summer, a brisk lunch time walk or a picnic in summer. Large crowds traditionally congregate here on Buxton Carnival Day – part of Buxton Well Dressing Festival, to watch the procession.
You can enjoy superb views of Buxton’s other iconic buildings from here too – Buxton Crescent Hotel & Spa, the Dome (University of Derby) and Buxton Opera House.
