300 years ago Derby became an important hub for the Industrial Revolution, and visitors to the city’s museums and galleries can see that quality has always been important to the city. It’s not surprising that it’s the home town of Rolls-Royce. The 700-year old Derby Cathedral is a landmark on its own, and the surrounding areas, including the Cornmarket, Strand, Irongate and Market Place, with their bustling shops, boutiques and restaurants, are always big draws for visitors. The true retail aficionado will find all they could possibly want at the massive Westfield Derby mall.
As well as being a compact and picturesque urban centre, Derby is located very conveniently close to the famous heritage sites of the Peak District and the National Forest. It’s a perfect blend of country and city for the visitor, and with Alton Towers close by we are the perfect base for all to enjoy the UK’s biggest theme park
