Derbyshire
The county of Derbyshire is situated in the East Midlands – it has Yorkshire to the north, Nottinghamshire to the east, Leicestershire to the south, Staffordshire and Cheshire to the west – and a sizeable portion of the Peak District National Park lies within its boundaries. The remote landscape around three large reservoirs at Howden, Derwent and Ladybower provides plenty of opportunities to pursue au natural leisure options for those who want to get away from it all.
