Derbyshire is situated in the north midlands of England, bordered in the
north-west by Cheshire , in the north by Yorkshire, in the east by
Nottinghamshire , in the south by Leicestershire , in the west by
Staffordshire . It measures about 52 miles from north to south, and for most
of that length is only about 20 miles from east to west, in an area of
approximately 2631 sq km (1016 sq miles).
Derby is by far the largest town in the county. Other towns of some
importance are Alfreton , Ashbourne , Bakewell , Belper , Buxton , Chesterfield ,
Glossop, Heanor, Ilkeston, Long Eaton and Matlock .
Derbyshire is a brilliant place to live, work, play and visit. Its towns,
villages, hills, dales and rivers, offer beautiful scenery, and a rich
variety of customs that date back from time immemorial. In Derbyshire you
find large country houses, like Chatsworth , Kedleston and Haddon , towns and
villages associated with famous people or rare minerals, and crystal clear
rivers and streams running through its valleys and dales.
Derbyshire caters for nearly every kind of sport, from rock climbing and pot
holing to fly fishing and canoeing on waters surrounded by beautiful
scenery.
The towns and villages are often quite isolated and built of the abundant
native stone. Here also, there are many more stone built reminders of the
ancient past, including the many burial mounds or `lows` which crown so many
hills in Derbyshire. Prehistoric monuments also remain such as the
magnificent Arbor Low stone circle and henge near Parsley Hay and the Nine
Ladies stone circle on Stanton Moor.
The hedgerows and arable fields which typify the Midlands, once you have
passed Ashbourne, give way to mile after mile of drystone walls
criss-crossing stoney pastures, where pastoral farming of sheep and cattle
predominates.
Derbyshire today is perhaps best known for the Peak District National Park,
the first to be designated in Britain, in 1951, in recognition of its
outstanding and largely unspoilt scenery. It covers 555 square miles of the
north of the county, taking in the limestone plateau and dales of the White
Peak, and the brooding gritstone moors and edges of the Dark Peak. Over 22
million day visits are made to the Peak District National Park every year,
making it the second-most visited National Park in the world.
Over the years this region has been immortalized on film in numerous movies
and TV dramas, including, Lady Jane Grey , Women in Love, The Virgin and the
Gypsy, The Prince and the Pauper and Moll Flanders. The ever popular British
TV Series, Peak Practice, BBC's Pride and Prejudice and Frank Zeffirelli's
Jane Ayre have had an immense impact on the area, and visitors come from far
and wide to see locations used during filming.
The Derwent Valley Mills region is now a World Heritage Site, leading to
worldwide recognition of the unique role this area, which snakes down the
Derwent Valley from Matlock Bath to Derby, played in shaping the factory
system, the industrial revolution and modern society. The site includes a
series of mill complexes, river weirs, mill settlements and an historic
transport network.
