The bubbling blue waters of Buxton's eight thermal springs, which maintain a constant 28 degrees Celsius, first drew the Romans to the town. Buxton's current Palladian splendour was designed and built under the patronage of successive Dukes of Devonshire in the 18th and 19th centuries, including the magnificent semicircular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, and the Pavilion Gardens and Opera House. These magnificent buildings and gardens, as well as the Opera House's full programme and annual festivals of music and the arts, are still open to the public to enjoy today.
