Derbyshire and the Peak District offer something for everyone – whether you’re looking for scenic views, historic landmarks, natural beauty spots or remarkable places to explore.
We decided to celebrate this by compiling a list of some of the most beautiful places for you to visit across the county – helping to provide inspiration for your next trip to Derbyshire and the Peak District.
37. Edensor
Edensor is a custom-built village on the Chatsworth Estate, which was specially commissioned by the sixth Duke of Devonshire, and incorporates a variety of stunning traditional house designs – including mock Tudor properties and Swiss-style cottages. In the 19th century, the sixth Duke of Devonshire ordered that the old estate village be demolished and rebuilt out of sight, as it spoiled his view of the estate from Chatsworth House - with Edensor being reconstructed entirely at the new site. Edensor also has a connection to former US President John F Kennedy, who made the pilgrimage to Edensor in July 1963 to visit the grave of his sister Kathleen Kennedy (who had married into the Devonshire family).
