About

Burbage ward encompasses a rugged expanse of moorland and gritstone edges on the eastern fringes of High Peak. The area is dominated by the vast, open plateau of Burbage Moor, with the Burbage Rocks and the Burbage Brook defining its southern boundary. This landscape forms a significant part of the Peak District's Dark Peak area, characterised by its peat bogs and heather.

The ward includes the Burbage suburb of Buxton and stretches south to the edges of the Goyt Valley. A notable feature is the Burbage Institute, a community hub in the suburb. The land is primarily used for water catchment, grazing, and recreation, with several popular walking and climbing routes traversing the rocky edges and open moorland.
