Corbar is an electoral ward in the borough of High Peak, centred on the southern slopes of the spa town of Buxton in Derbyshire, England. It occupies slightly elevated, often leafy streets of mainly Victorian and Edwardian housing, giving many properties good views over the town and the surrounding limestone landscape that leads into the Peak District National Park.
The ward is largely residential with a local economy tied to Buxton’s services and tourism; residents are served by nearby cultural amenities such as the Buxton Opera House and the Pavilion Gardens, while outdoor attractions like Poole's Cavern and Grin Low are on the doorstep. Its character reflects Buxton’s 19th‑century expansion as a spa town, so there is a notable stock of period architecture and a mixed community of families, professionals and retirees.
