Local Area Info
Derbyshire
Derbyshire is situated in the north midlands of England, bordered in the north-west by
Cheshire, in the north by Yorkshire, in the east by Nottinghamshire, in the south by
Leicestershire, in the west by Staffordshire.
Derby is by far the largest town in the county. Other towns of some importance are
Alfreton, Ashbourne, Bakewell, Belper, Buxton, Chesterfield, Glossop, Heanor, Ilkeston,
Long Eaton and Matlock.
Derbyshire is a brilliant place to live, work, play and visit. Its towns, villages,
hills, dales and rivers, offer beautiful scenery, and a rich variety of customs that
date back from time immemorial. In Derbyshire you find large country houses, like
Chatsworth, Kedleston and Haddon, towns and villages associated with famous people or
rare minerals, and crystal clear rivers and streams running through its valleys and dales.
Derbyshire caters for nearly every kind of sport, from rock climbing and pot holing to
fly fishing and canoeing on waters surrounded by beautiful scenery.
Derbyshire today is perhaps best known for the Peak District National Park.
