Not to be missed

There’s so much to see and do in Chesterfield Area that sometimes you just don’t know where to start. To help you, we’ve come up with some things you really shouldn’t miss.

Let’s look at the top attractions that you just have to see. Chatsworth, the ‘Palace of the Peak’. Renishaw Hall with its beautiful gardens. Hardwick Hall, Elizabethan down to its foundation stones. Bolsover Castle, a mansion house once visited by King Charles I.

There are views that you really have to see. Looking out over 6 counties from the Fabrick at Ashover, Spot the ‘Crooked Spire’ in the distance from the hills above Holymoorside. Gaze down from Owler Bar into the Cordwell Valley, colourful with rhododendrons. And don’t forget the view from the top of the Tower at the ‘Crooked Spire’ Church. These are just a few but there are more to find when you come to stay.

Then there are events. The top events include Chesterfield Medieval Fun Day, Ashover Show, Bolsover Food and Drink Festival, Cromford Steam Rally, Chatsworth Country Fair, Chesterfield 1940s Market and lots more beside. Check our What's On page before deciding when to visit.
