A little further afield you can discover the spectacular landscape of the Peak District, visit Chatsworth House and its 1,000 acre park, head underground at the world-famous Blue John Cavern, try water sports at Carsington Water, or wander round the National Trust properties of Ilam Park and Kedleston Hall.
