Building Your Buxton Spa: Design & Development in the Original Wellness Town
In the heart of the Peak District sits Buxton – a town that was doing wellness before wellness was even a thing. Since Roman times, people have flocked here for its thermal waters. Now, Alkaline Wellness Solutions is helping write the next chapter in this storied spa town’s history.
