Have Camera Will Travel

Walk about

After viewing the many birds who visited our feeders this morning we then walked into Buxton spa town in the Borough of High Peak, It is England's highest market town.
Our first stop was the Pavilion gardens, 1st extra to sample the ales at the beer festival, we sat on the terrace in the sunshine.  Leaving there we passed the majestic Opera House 2nd extra.
My main
The Crescent.

In the late 18th century, the 5th Duke of Devonshire tried to convert Buxton into a 'Northern Bath' by commissioning a fashionable crescent, described by Nikolaus Pevsner as 'more elegant than Bath's Royal Crescent'. However, after the Crescent's closure in 1992, the building became 'the most at risk Grade I-listed building in England

This long-neglected masterpiece is finally being restored and converted into a 79-bed hotel, supplemented by boutique shops, a restaurant and indoor and outdoor pools.
We returned to Phoebe tired and weary.
