Numerous sports are played in the park such as football, cricket, tennis, bowls and golf while the rolling hills and wide paths are perfect for bike rides. The ponds are also well stocked with fish that have got nice and fat eating the bread intended for the ducks. Hidden off the beaten track into the woods are the remains of an amphitheatre and there are also a number of carved wooden sculptures hidden around in various states of disrepair. There are three car parks. One located behind the sports pavilion on Cobnar Road, one at the animal park at the top of Warminster Road and one near the tennis courts on Charles Ashmore Road.

Access is easy and it has a reasonably sized car park on the south end and a big car park on its north face (near the little farm zoo). The park is clean and well kept and during the summer has some colourful wildlife. There are plenty of open fields which host plenty of events from motor shows to fair grounds, and great wooded areas with paved tracks providing an easy way to travel through them.

Impressive castle ruin (well, mostly) in the heart of Derbyshire. On the English Heritage website,…read moreit's No.6 of their top ten of castles and mansions in Britain. I wouldn't go that far, but it's certainly worth the 30min bus ride from Chesterfield. And there's a well-above-average Wetherspoon pub just around the corner that you can relax in after your visit to the castle. What's not to like? "Bolsover Castle was founded in the 12th century by the Peverel family, who also owned Peveril Castle in Derbyshire, and came under royal control in 1155. The site is now in the care of English Heritage and is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument." Unfortunately, it was also besieged and partly destroyed during the English Civil War, as its owner sided with King Charles I. against Cromwell and his men - which turned out to be not such a great idea. This is why the main halls of the castle lie in ruins. Only the stables (the Duke pretty much invented modern horse dressage singlehandedly, or so they'll tell you) and the adjacent "little" castle still have a roof, and a tiny part of their former decor. Actually, the smaller castle is the greater attraction as it allows you to get a better picture of what life was like with the duke and his family in the 17th century. Bolsover Castle remains an impressive construction, and there are some re-creations that show you what the decor in the main halls must have been like. All in all, it's well-prepared and cared for by English Heritage, and most certainly worth the modest entry fee. There's also a small souvenir shop and a café as you enter/leave the grounds. Bolsover itself isn't exactly spectacular - it's mostly a commuter's village I guess. But there are a couple of promising-looking pubs, in addition to the Spoon. My recommendation would be to go to Chesterfield by train and then take the 30min bus ride (no changes - the bus stops almost exactly in front of the castle).

Haddon Hall is a large, grand, and very interesting manor house near Bakewell, England. Part of it…read moreis kept private but a large portion of the hall and ground are open to the public, with a restaurant on the premises in the old carriage house. The buildings include sections from many different periods, from the late 12th century to the mid 17th century and the portions open to the public include the kitchen area, banquet hall, and other sections, plus portions of the grounds and walled garden. This is also a must-see site for those interesting in filming locations since many films and television shows have had scenes filmed here. This is particularly true for fans of The Princess Bride, with many scenes being filmed in the hall and on the grounds, all very recognisable. More scenes wre filmed in the general area as well. At Christmastime, it is heavily decorated and there is choir singing in the hall.

You'll recognize parts of this castle (or mansion? Lol) IMMEDIATELY! They filmed parts of movies here like Princess Bride, Mary Queen of Scots, The King and the more recent adaptation of Jane Eyre with Michael Fassbender! It was so lovely all decorated for Christmas as well...they even had a bell-ringer concert going when we arrived! I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my visit here! Parking is directly across the street and they have an easy crossing and walk up to the site. The parking lot can be muddy and they do charge you about 3gbp to park.
