Buxton – The Solomon’s Temple walk

The Solomon’s Temple walk is a highly popular and short walk from Buxton, known for its blend of historical significance and breathtaking panoramic views. The walk can be reached directly from the property and from various starting points within Buxton itself but the most direct route is to commence from Poole’s Cavern and Buxton Country Park, making it easily accessible for both locals and visitors alike.

There are three woodland trail footpaths leading from Poole’s Cavern Visitor Centre to the summit of Grinlow and Solomon’s Temple viewpoint. The yellow Geology trail with fossil sculpture way markers including Charlie the Limeburner, the green Nature trail with bird, animal and plant sculpture way markers or the longer blue quarry view trail, or simply stroll and enjoy the beautiful landscape and spectacular views. The terrain on the trails are well maintained pathways by the Buxton Civic Association with grassland at the top so with appropriate footwear, this walk can be tackled in all seasons.

Whether you’re hiking with family, friends, or on your own, this walk promises a fulfilling experience, offering a chance to connect with nature and explore the historical aspects of the area. This dog friendly route includes some of the yellow Geology and green Nature trail.
