Hotels Derby - Derby Attractions

Derby is set in the beautiful county of Derbyshire, which boasts the wonderful Peak District and it's many Caverns and Caves. As if this wasn't enough there are Castles, Stately Homes, Quaint Villages, Market Towns and a wealth of History waiting to be explored.

Derby is one of the UK's youngest Cities having been awarded its charter in 1977, historically it is part of the industrial revolution, the first Silk Mill was opened here and Derbyshire was a famous producer of coal. Derbyshire is fortunate in that while many of it's heavy industries have closed down there are none of the deep industrial scars seen in some parts of the neighbouring counties.
