DISCOVER DERBY

Derby is a city of considerable character, yet it still has the feel of a large market town. It is located near the country’s centre and well-served by road, rail and air. The mainline railway station is only a short walk away from the city centre. Junction 25 of the M1 motorway is less than 15 minutes away. East Midlands Airport is an easy 12-mile drive to the city. Derby has a wide selection of accommodations, entertainment and festivities.

The city centre is compact, with excellent shopping and restaurant facilities. Many of the diverse selections of historic and new public houses sell real ale and serve good home-cooked food. There is plenty of open space, beautiful parks and attractions within easy reach.

Derby is also part of the Derwent Valley World Heritage Site. The Peak District National Park is only a few miles to the north and the National Forest is a short distance to the south. It is surrounded by attractive countryside, historic houses, lovely towns and villages.
