Advantages: Lots of history, free Disadvantages: Closed in Winter, and Mondays during Summer
Buxton is a beautiful little picturesque town situated right on the fringe of the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire. It is place that is both picturesque and historic and is well worth a visit.
Any visitor to the town wanting to know a little more about this old Roman Spa town should set an hour or so of their day aside and pay a visit to the Buxton Museum and Art Gallery.
Admission to this building is completely free, something of a bit of a rarity these days. I visited here a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed.

At this point you could be forgiven for thinking that you had walked into the local tourist information centre rather than a museum, but a quick glance around soon reveals several little anterooms, that lead off from this main foyer area ...
Advantages: Educational, fun and free. Disadvantages: Long, long queues until the end of August 2009.
officialdom that his street works are legitimate pieces of art. He remains what the press would probably call a ?shadowy figure? and speculation over his identity has only added to his appeal. It seems to be pretty well established that he was born and educated in Bristol, where his graffiti first appeared, but his work soon started to pop up in London and then in locations all over the world, hence his international fame.
Over the last few years Banksy pieces have fetched increasingly high prices at auction, including the sale of one work at Bonhams in 2007 for nearly £300,000.
To say that the Banksy event in Bristol has been popular would be something of an understatement. We arrived at the museum at 9.45 on a Friday morning at the end of June and joined the queue. Fortunately we only had had to wait for about 25 minutes to get in but ...
