Description
Derbyshire is one of the most fascinating and varied counties in England, containing everything from rugged uplands to gentle lowlands; grand country houses to humble coal mining villages.
It has played host to Roman legions, Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and Viking invaders. It saw England’s first industrial communities and her first National Park. A great place to explore with a young family when travel options suddenly became more limited…
In this personal and sometimes humorous account, Jon Millhouse explores the length and breadth of his home county, celebrating its landscapes, buildings and communities and recounting its long history. He even discusses broader issues such as climate change, social class and changing technologies through the prism of one county.
…. And he attempts to prove to his kids that you don’t have to travel far to enjoy rich and varied experiences.
