If you’re looking for something to do over the long, hot summer days this year, here’s an alphabetical list of activities to embark on and places to visit in Derbyshire.
9. I: Ilkeston
Ilkeston may surprise you with what it has to offer. It's got history, walking trails and some great pubs to keep you occupied - don't overlook it this summer! Photo: -
10. J: Blue John Cavern
Ok, we're cheating a bit with this one - but if you're looking to get away from the sunshine for a bit, Blue John Cavern has you covered (literally). It's where the rare Blue John is mined - you'll seldom find it anywhere else in the world. Photo: -
11. K: Kinder Scout
Kinder Scout is the "parent" of many of the peaks in this list. One of the toughest challenges in the Peak District, scaling this 636 metre tall monster is no mean feat. Photo: -
12. L: Ladybower Reservoir
The iconic Ladybower Reservoir provides a leisurely walking trail - while the scenery is spectacular, the effort you'll need to complete this walk is relatively minimal, making it a great day out for the whole family. There's plenty of pubs and cafes dotted around, too. Photo: -
