The Heart of England / Peak District / Peak District/Derbyshire region

Tibshelf village is an ex coal minning area that over the past 40 years has been redeveloped for recreation. The old railway line that connected the the mines have become long walks that wind through the Derbyshire countryside, allowing you to walk from village to village. These walks go for miles and are ideal places to cycle so bring your mountain bikes.
There are many local Pubs ranging from a local drinks only, through to large pubs with restaurants.

A groceries mini market is 5 minutes away.
Tesco Direct deliver from Alfreton also 24hour store

The Chesterfield area

The surrounding county has over 4000 miles of countryside walks and mountain biking tracks. There are many local historic places such as Chatsworth House and Hardwick Hall. Other attractions include Alton Towers, The National Tramway Museum and the famous Blue John Caverns.
Within a few miles is the village where Peak Practice was filmed. Factory shops abound with Denby and many famous named clothing brands like Viella close by.

Chesterfield: Best known for its crooked spire, it is Derbyshire’s second largest town that hosts a thriving market and is close to the M1 and Sheffield.

The town now stands over a Roman site that in turn stands on top of an Iron Age fort. The Domesday book calls the town Cestrefield, meaning open field which points towards its success as a market town. The market still remains a bustling area of the town itself, running on a Monday, Friday and Saturday. The Victorian market hall stands in the centre of the old market, containing various shopping facilities and nearby is the Shambles, with narrow streets of shops and tearooms that has its history rooted as far back as the 12th century.

Today, more than 200 stalls pack the town centre every Monday, Friday and Saturday all year round. On Thursdays there's a flea market with at least 100 stalls and, on the second Thursday of each month there’s a farmers’ market.

There are many other attractions in and around the town, as well as the pubs, clubs, restaurants, theatre, cinema and range of places to stay that you would expect from Derbyshire’s largest town.
