Buxton Country Park, Solomon’s Temple and Pavilion Park.

 Thursday 12th September 2024

We went into Buxton, and after the farcical impossibility of paying in the Pavilion car park - machine out of order and phone app not playing - we parked at the country park, and even there had to pay inside the visitor centre! 


A cup of coffee and a scone later we walked up to Solomon’s Temple, and back round to the Visitor Centre.

We followed the short route up the steps and steepish paths through the woods.

We couldn’t resist these two characters from the past.


We made our way up to Grin Low and Solomon’s Temple.


Back across the fields above the camp site, and down through the woods.



Afterwards we walked into Buxton Pavilion Park, where one or two of the trees are beginning to show an autumn glow.


We had a coffee in the cafe there - its ’freshly made sandwiches’ turned out to be pre-packed, so we left lunch until we got back to the ranch.

As we walked back up to the car there was a very loud peal of thunder, but the promised storm didn’t materialise. remarkable views of landscape and clouds along the A53.



Somewhere around 4.3 miles in all. We covered the same ground as our walk last October, with variations.
