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

Welcome to the Peak District National Park. Britain's first national park, established in 1951, is visited by people from all over the world. They come to find peace, tranquillity and adventure, experiencing some of England’s finest climbing, caving, walking and cycling. The National Park is also home to 38,000 people. The local economy is based on tourism, farming, quarrying and manufacturing.

The Peak District National Park has some of the most stunning countryside in England. Covering 500 square miles across several counties it attracts visitors from all around the world. Derbyshire is famous for it's natural beauty ,from peaks and dales, to picturesque villages.

The area really has something for everyone. The active will be spoilt for choice; walking, sailing, rock climbing, mountain biking, potholing, gliding, ballooning..the list goes on. For families there are theme parks to visit, cable cars and trams to ride, and caves and caverns to explore. There are a wealth of historic houses Chatsworth (where the film ''Pride & Prejudice' starring Kieira Knightely was filmed), Hardwick and Haddon to name just three. However, if this sounds all too energetic for you, why not take simple stroll around our many pretty towns and villages.

Matlock area

We are surrounded by some of the prettiest villages in England, with fine pubs, shops and restaurants. The ancient market towns of Wirksworth, Buxton, and Bakewell are close, and all have regular markets, good shops, cafes, and antique centres. Matlock Bath is 10 minutes drive where you can visit ;Matlock, only a small hamlet until the 1800's when mills at Cromford were built by Richard Arkwight. But it really expanded when "hydrotherapy" treatments where introduced to the Victorians by John Smedley. Smedley even built his own castle, now in ruins.

With trains and trams the town prospered for 100 years. Today a busy town and tourist centre on the edge of the Peak District and close to Matlock Bath, a mile down the A6.

High Tor towers over these towns and there are plenty of paths to wander high over the River Derwent. Or try a gentle stroll around Hall Leys Park, down by the river.

The Heights of Abraham - Spectacular cable car ride high above the Derwent Valley, plus guided tours underground into a warren of passage ways that lead to the famous show cavern.

Gullivers Kingdom - a family theme park nestled in the stunning hillside of Matlock Bath, providing the best possible day out. A world of wonder and fantasy. Admission price allows access to over 35 rides and attractions.

Chatsworth House - Perhaps the most magnificent and certainly the best know stately home in England. Visit the house, garden, farm yard, and playground, farm shop, or discover spectacular scenery with in the 100 miles of free walks.

Haddon Hall - A fortified medieval manor house dating from the 12th Century, and probably the finest example in existence.

Castleton Caves - Visit the largest natural cave entrance in the British Isles and adventure deep into a spectacular ancient underground wounderland. See the Blue John Stone in the only place in the world where it naturally occurs and enter the inner world of the underground cave system by boat and absorb the atmosphere as a watery silence echoes all around you.

Red House Stables - This working carriage museum has one of the finest collections of original horse drawn vehicles and equipment in Britain, including one of the very few Hansom Cabs, a Stage Coach, a Royal Mail Coach & numerous other private and commercial vehicles. You can look behind the scenes, meet the horses or even book a ride around the grounds of Chatsworth House.

Carsington Water - Visit the mecca for water sports enthusiasts, where yachtswomen Ellen Mc Arther learned to sail. Sailing, canoeing, sail-boarding, fly fishing, water-slides for kids, plus cycle hire, wild life centreBolsover Castle is a semi-ruined 17th century mansion set high on a wooded hilltop, looking west towards the heights of the Peak District.

Bolsover Castle - A Norman castle once stood on the site but the present house was the creation of two generations of the ambitious Cavendish family.

Sir Charles Cavendish, younger son of 'Bess of Hardwick' acquired the estate from his step-brother, the 7th Earl of Shrewbury, in 1608.

He began work on a castellated villa, known as the 'Little Castle', four years later on the site of the medieval keep. This unusual pleasure house was completed in 1621 but a few years later it was considerably extended by his son, Sir William Cavendish. Sir William was a leading figure at the court of Charles I and was later created Duke of Newcastle.

He built an imposing range of state rooms on the west side of the original inner bailey and then added the impressive indoor Riding School to the south. During the Civil War work on the house was suspended and some damage was caused to the building by Parliamentarian troops.

The construction, however, was restarted and completed after the Restoration. On the death of the 2nd Duke in 1691 the estate passed through the female line and in the early 18th century the family abandoned Bolsover Castle in favour of nearby Welbeck.

The state rooms were unroofed but the 'Little Castle' and Riding School survived almost intact, though unfurnished. In 1954 the semi-ruined house was acquired by the Government as an ancient monument and it is now in the care of English Heritage.

Bolsover Castle is entered from the south and once in the main courtyard (the inner bailey of the Norman castle) the visitor can view all the parts of the house.
