Yes, Ive visited Buxton a lot, its only an hours drive away, a leftover of the days when the North of England was where all the money was made.Have you ever been to Buxton in the Peak District, Charge? If not, I recommend you stay at the Old Hall Hotel there

The place is claimed to be the oldest hotel in Britain (hosting Mary the Queen of Scots, for example). The hotel is so old its equipment and facilities are as archaic as the inventions brought by Henry III of France and then imported to Britain
On the other hand, Buxton is the home of Buxton Brewery, one of the best craft beer breweries of Britain! Believe it or not but we drove from Wales to Buxton just to enjoy the ales & stouts at the Buxton Brewery Taproom! (It is Books-ton not Bucks-ton!)

We tried Billionaires and King Slayer. I did not notice the Sesqui Axe as it was around midnight already!
Now, a question to the British members of this Forum: How difficult is it to rent a classy e-bike in England, Wales or Scotland? Let us say the cost does not matter? I'd love to explore places such as Peak District, Lake District or Scotland on e-bikes!
Its quite a surprise to fund such grandeur in what appears to be a very rural area.
As I joked at the time, thats quite an itinerary for one day, Snowdonia to Buxton.
Id say youre looking at minimum of 60 pounds a day plus a 100 deposit, but of course its going to be an EU spec 16mph restricted, though in a hilly area thats irrelevent, 16mph up the hill, 50mph on the way down!
I dont say bookston, with my accent it sounds very scouse to pronounce it that way, buckston is a posher way if saying it
