Derbyshire is a county of contrasts. Whilst much of its acreage is devoted to the breath-taking scenery of the Peak District National Park, woven into this landscape are attractive towns and villages offering opportunities to connect with history, industry, nature, craftsmanship and the arts.
Stand in the footsteps of actress Keira Knightley and gaze across the Pennine hills whilst dreaming of your own 'Mr Darcy'. Take a ride back in time on a vintage tram. Tuck into breakfast on the top of a mountain as the sun rises. There are hundreds of new memories waiting to be made.
