Buxton's exclusion from the national park is because of the abundance of limestone quarries surrounding the town, which make a huge impact on the landscape. It may also have been thought, when the boundary was drawn in 1951, that the quarries' inclusion in a national park would impede their development at a time of national need for construction materials in the wake of the Second World War. Many of the quarries are still active.
