The city of Derby is full of character with elegant Georgian streets and architectural masterpieces around every corner.
Royal Crown Derby porcelain is famed the world over and visitors can take a fascinating factory tour mid-week as well as drop in at the Visitor Centre complete with restaurant and factory shop.
The importance of industry is celebrated at the Derby Industrial Museum situated in England's first factory building, a former silk mill on the banks of the River Derwent. Learn about the city's associations with Rolls Royce, rail travel and mining and it's FREE!
Art lovers can relish oil painting masterpieces by Joseph Wright at the Derby Museum and Art Gallery. Home improvements enthusiasts can marvel at the architecture and furnishings at Pickford's House, a Georgian town house treasure and Kedleston Hall, a fine neo-classical house set amidst rolling parkland. A city ghost tour should satisfy those with a more ghoulish interest. After all, Derby has had more ghostly sightings than York! Additional themed tours are also available to cover a variety of historical interests.
Enjoy the tranquility of Derby Cathedral and discover the elegant wrought iron work and beautiful gold décor.
Footie fan or not, Pride Park football stadium can't fail to impress and behind the scenes tours reveal all!
Tranquil parks offer a great contrast to the lively city scene. Take a miniature steam train ride at Markeaton Park every weekend and meet 'the man Himself' on the special December Santa Service!
Shopping completes the picture with everything from traditional old world charm and markets magic to high street names and bargain basements. Cultural interludes can also be savoured at a variety of theatres, concert halls and cinemas.
World-wide cuisine and a fine selection of hotels and guesthouses makes Derby a superb choice for a weekend break. Population 240,000
