context_page_description: The pubs and inns in Buxton are an important part of the historical character of the town of Buxton, Derbyshire, in England. The inns date back to the 16th century and several are listed buildings. Most are within the Conservation Areas of Higher Buxton, Central Buxton and Fairfield.
context_section_description: The Old Sun Inn (formerly The Sun and The Rising Sun) is one of the oldest buildings in Buxton and was built in the 17th century as a coaching inn. The arch on the passageway to the rear coachyard has 'Good Stabling' inscribed on it. The inn is set back from the High Street so that coaches could pull up outside it to allow travellers to step off. Inside there is an old small 'courting' room, where parents could observe a courting couple through windows on either side. The interior has stone floors and oak panelling. It is a Grade II listed building and it is now a free house.
  The Cheshire Cheese is a two-storey stone building from at least 1787 and is also set back from the High Street. It is a Grade II listed building, including its ornate iron railings with fleur-de-lys, urns and acorns design. It was once owned by Samuel Mycock who built Solomon's Temple on Grinlow hill. It is now run by Titanic Brewery.
  The Swan (known also as the White Swan and formerly known as The Shoulder of Mutton) is a two-storey stone building on the corner of Church Street and Bath Street. It was built as a coaching house before 1811. In about 1850 the inn was boycotted after a soldier was accused by the landlord of not paying for his drink, tied to a tree and flogged. It is a Grade II listed building and is now a free house.
  The Eagle on the Market Place was built in 1760 by the 4th Duke of Devonshire as a Georgian spa hotel. The four-storey building replaced the earlier Eagle and Child Inn on the same site from 1592. This coaching inn was the dinner stop for the London to Manchester coaches. It was known briefly from 1903 as the Devonshire Hotel. It is currently operated by Hydes Brewery.
  The Kings Head is on the Market Place next to the Buxton Town Hall. It was originally built in 1725 as a parsonage. It is now run by Martson's Brewery. On the outside wall, there is a plaque marking the start and finish of the Peak District Boundary Walk (a circular 190-mile (310 km) walking trail).
  The New Inn on the Market Place is a three-storey millstone grit building from around 1800. It was originally known as the New Sun Hotel and in the late 1840s as the New Inn and Yorkshire Commercial Hotel. It has been run by Robinsons Brewery since 1838.
  The Queen's Head Hotel is a two- and three-storey building on High Street.
  Other bars in Higher Buxton are 53 Degrees North, the Ale Stop, the Vault, the Pickled Frog and South 16.
  The Blazing Rag and London Road Inn are both on London Road.
