Derbyshire is centrally located in the heart of England and offers beautiful countryside with limestone gorges (dales), green fields and flower-studded pastures.  The region has an interesting industrial past with many romantic stories. Discover the quaint local custom of "well-dressing" in small villages. Visit famous Chatsworth House and gardens or the plague village of Eyam.
