Buxton - England




The place: Starting up north in Buxton (close to Manchester) to visit Frances and her boyfriend Paul. Buxton is really quaint, its like a little toy town where you'd expect to bump into Bob the builder and Postman Pat. In the tiniest vicinity you find schools, churchs an opera house, a station, a market place, a pond, a park. Its actually a really scenic little town.
Some of its features: are Pooles Cavern (caves) which are really impressive and Solomons Temple which stands high up on a hill overlooking the whole town. Buxton's apparently the highest market place town in the UK (arb fact).
Strange observation: No black people (actually i did see one - after walking the whole town past schools shops coffee shops, parks etc). As a South African I miss the cultural diversity!
