About Derbyshire

​

Derbyshire is a county in the East Midlands of England. A substantial portion of the Peak District National Park lies within Derbyshire, containing the southern extremity of the Pennine range of hills that extend into the north of the county.

​

Chesterfield is their largest town and is home to 104,000 people. Eight other main towns have populations of over 20,000. A large part of the north and west of the county is very rural, much of it in the Peak District National Park.

​

Derbyshire is well known for Bakewell Pudding. No visit to the Peak District and Derbyshire would be complete without sampling the famous local dessert.

​

Nationally famous companies in Derbyshire include Rolls-Royce, one of the world's leading aerospace companies, based there since before World War I in Derby, Thorntons just south of Alfreton and Toyota, who have one of the UK's largest car manufacturing plants at Burnaston.​
