Derbyshire
Derbyshire runs from England's first national park, all gritstone edges and limestone dales, down through a former industrial cathedral city to the stately grounds of Chatsworth and a spa town built on a Georgian bathing craze. It's a compact county to explore, with a lot packed into it.

About this guide
We keep this simple: a short, honest guide to each part of Derbyshire, and a live link through to Booking.com to check current availability and prices — we don't maintain our own hotel listings or reviews, since those go stale fast and Booking.com's own data doesn't.
