Top walking trails for holiday makers in Derby

Whilst Derby has many sights and attractions, one of the main reasons that holiday makers flock here is to visit the nearby Peak District, so as to explore its many lanes, bridleways and footpaths. There are, in total, more than 2000 miles of trails around this area; certainly enough to keep a person busy for their two or three week holiday!
Hotels near Donnington are often booked for such adventures, as this location serves as the perfect jumping off point for a spot of countryside exploration; visitors can simply hop into their cars and find themselves in the heart of England’s most picturesque National Park in the space of an hour. Here, we discuss two of the most scenic trails around the Peak District.
Chatsworth Walk is an eight mile long trail which provides fantastic views for nature-lovers. During a brisk hike around this path, you’ll find yourself hovering on the breathtakingly high gritstone edges of Birchen and Dobb, and will have the chance to admire Chatsworth Park’s majestic Hunting Tower, and amble past the trickling waters of the River Derwent.
For those that want a more challenging route, Mam Tor Hill, more commonly referred to as the ‘Great Ridge’ is a trail along the grit and shale ridge, which lies on the border between the White and Dark Peaks. From the steps behind the Mam Nick car park, the pathway leads hikers through lush green forestry up to Back Tor, and east towards Hope Valley, where the stately Castleton sits in the foreground.
More information on these pathways, as well as the wealth of other countryside trails nearby can be obtained from the management of the hotels near Donnington, who are more than happy to help their guests make the most of the spectacular scenery in the local area.

How to survive a long car journey

Driving long distances will take its toll on even the most experienced of drivers; the stress of traffic jams, the tedium of hours spent on the motorway, along with of course, the fatigue that comes with prolonged periods of driving, are enough to deter anyone from attempting a long car journey. However, there are some steps which you can take to alleviate the exhaustion and stress of the drive.
As with many things in life, planning and preparation are essential for a long distance journey. Choose your exact route before you head off, taking into account the number of times you’re likely to pass through busy towns, so that you can avoid entering them during rush hours. If you’re journey is likely to take more than a day, then it’s advisable to book a hotel along your route so that you can get the rest and the sustenance that you need to drive safely.
The hotels M1 motorway has, for instance, are easy to access by car, economically priced and have all of the facilities required for a decent night’s sleep. Don’t take the risk of driving for too long; the lack of concentration that comes with fatigue will endanger you and other drivers on the road.
It may be the case that your journey on the M1 takes longer than expected, due to delays caused by roadwork or traffic jams, and you have not booked a hotel. In such instances, you can still usually find a room available; jot down the names and numbers of the hotels M1 motorway has close to it before you head off, so that if you find yourself feeling worn out and unable to drive, you’ll still be able to pop into the nearest hotel and rest.

The sights and scenery of Derbyshire

Hotels in Derbyshire are positively brimming over with guests throughout the year. It’s no wonder, really; this county is one of the arrestingly beautiful parts of England, with its striking fusion of windswept thatched houses, wild moors and rolling green hills dotted with grey-stone villages.
For many, Derbyshire is synonymous with the Peak District National Park, although the park actually overlaps with a number of other counties as well. Because of this, quite a large percentage of the holiday-makers here are nature enthusiasts and hikers, choosing hotels in Derbyshire due to their close proximity to the unspoilt beauty of the Peak District, which they can often reach by car or by foot within just a few minutes, depending on the location of their hotel.
However, whilst you cannot deny the appeal of the Derbyshire’s dramatic scenery, there’s more to this county than its moors and walking trails.
For those lucky enough to visit, there’s an endless amount of towns to roam through and attractions to explore. History buffs will adore Derbyshire, as the towns around here are home to a wealth of stately houses, halls and cathedrals. Perhaps the most well loved of these is Hardwick Hall, an Elizabethan mansion which dates back to the early 16th century and was designed by Robert Smythson.
Then of course, there’s Derby Cathedral, constructed in 943 AD, whose vaulted ceiling hides beneath them a fascinating collection of tombs from the Medieval Era. Wherever your interests lie, be they in nature or mad-made attractions, you’ll never tire of this fascinating county.

As the Industrial Revolution’s birthplace, modern-day Derby still retains its traditional airs, but this is coupled with a vibrant, contemporary atmosphere which draws in thousands of visitors each year.
Although the city is an excellent base for those eager to explore the beauty of the Peak District, the hotels Derby has to offer are populated not only by nature-enthusiasts, but also by those interested in the visiting the city’s picturesque parks, spectacular restaurants, and of course, the cosy pubs serving what local residents deem to be the best ale in all of Britain.
The many hotels Derby visitors will find scattered around the city, serve as the ideal stepping stones from which to discover the delights of the area. There are plenty to choose from, and all are equipped with the modern amenities you need to fully enjoy your stay.

However, if the rain begins to pour, there’s no better place to while away a few hours than in the fascinating Derby Museum and Art Gallery, or the imposing Calke Abbey.
