Derby is getting increasingly popular with weekend breakers, and for a reason – the city features some of the best-preserved artefacts of the industrial revolution; the first established public park in the UK, the Arboretum; and great shopping malls. Children will love the range of indoor and outdoor experiences at the city’s parks and museums, while foodies can look forward to discovering peculiar Derby dishes such as pyclets. If you love historical buildings, rent a Georgian holiday cottage in the centre, and if you're seeking proximity to nature, opt for one of the many log cabins in the countryside surrounding the city.
