My daughter and I spent a most enjoyable morning with Deanna and Henry at Lindsay Springs Alpacas. It was a very friendly atmosphere, four delightful alpacas who behaved very well on our walk in the delightful Derbyshire countryside. We made a felt alpaca to take home and were treated to a coffee and a delicious slice of cake. I would recommend this experience very highly. Helen Chappell

Clumber Park

Clumber is a beautiful expanse of parkland, heath and woods covering more than 3,800 acres.Clumber Park was once the country estate of the Dukes of Newcastle. Although the house was demolished in 1938, there are glimpses of its grand past to explore - from the Gothic-style chapel, often referred to as a 'cathedral in miniature', you can follow in the footsteps of dukes through the peaceful pleasure ground to the Walled Kitchen Garden, where you can experience sights, scents and a taste of the past.Today Clumber offers freedom to discover a ducal park and provides a haven for wildlife within an idyllic setting.With 3,800 acres of picturesque parkland and gardens, peaceful woodlands and a magnificent lake to enjoy there is plenty of space to explore and relax with your family and friends.Not only is Clumber's mosaic of habitats home to an amazing array of wildlife, it is also a great place to spot it.And there's much more to explore.

Stayed at the Motorhome & Caravan Club site on Clumber Park for 5 nights, fabulous staff and so friendly.The weather was kind to us and our friends for the visit and we were able to walk in this truly beautiful place with its Autumnal magnificence. We didn’t bring the bikes but if we had the trails are fabulous as are the walks. The visitor centre is excellent with a great cafe/restaurant at very reasonable prices. It’s our third visit and it certainly won’t be our last. Our National Trust is a wonderful institution preserving the very best of our wonderful islands...Clumber is England at its best. Thoroughly recommend it...please visit.

Goyt Valley

Regular 3 mile walk around the reservoir with my dog. Popular spot with ample parking. Glorious at any time of the year. Can be very muddy in the woodland section.

Chaddesden Wood Local Nature Reserve

Reviewed By TeamWard - Nottingham, United Kingdom

In these challenging times its worth finding different places to have walk to or through, the Oakwood / Chaddesden Wood Nature Reserve is well worth a stoll through, gets busy with children on Easter egg hunts, dog walkers, but with the bluebells arriving is marvellous.
