Derbyshire is best known for the Peak District National Park, one of the UK’s most loved outdoor areas. With everything from riverside paths to mountain hikes, it’s a go-to spot for walkers, cyclists and anyone who enjoys being out in nature. The county is also well known for historic estates like Chatsworth House and for its role in the Industrial Revolution.

Historically, Derbyshire has been known for lead mining and textiles, but it’s also where Rolls-Royce built its reputation in aerospace engineering.
