Welcome to Derbyshire — England’s Peak District county, where mills meet moors and the A38 keeps Derby and Burton firmly connected. With around 1 million residents who know the shortcut past Chatsworth better than any sat‑nav, Derbyshire blends industrial heritage with rugged landscapes.

Schools That Actually Impress

Derby Grammar School, Lady Manners in Bakewell, and Repton School (the independent heavyweight) all carry strong reputations. Translation: your kids will get a solid education, and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing exam results at the school gates.

Economy With a Balance

Derbyshire’s economy mixes engineering, quarrying, and tourism with growing service and tech hubs in Derby. Add in commuters heading to Nottingham, Sheffield, and Birmingham, and you’ve got a county that’s practical, connected, and quietly thriving.

Things to Do (Besides Timing the A38 Traffic)

• Chatsworth House – stately home with grandeur and gardens.

• Peak District National Park – rolling hills, caves, and endless walking trails.

• Local favourites – Bakewell pudding for foodies, Derby County FC for matchday buzz, and canal walks for fresh air and photo ops.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

• Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than traffic at Markeaton Island)
