Places to visit in Derbyshire

Visit Derbyshire to explore a national park with craggy hills, sweeping dales, mysterious henges and swathes of dense woodland. This East Midlands county is all about the great outdoors. Walk the moors and tors of the Peak District and stop off in market towns Bakewell and Buxton to try the mouth-watering tart and mineral water. While you’re there, stop off at Chatsworth House, the setting for Pride & Prejudice. Or for a city break, visit Derby and climb its cathedral tower or look around the museums that give cutting insights into the role the city played in the Industrial Revolution and the Golden Age of Steam.
