Explore Derby city centre with two self-guided heritage walks with a treasure hunt theme. Discover Derby's "hidden treasures" whilst having a fun day out with family and friends!
Derby is the UK’s most central city, a gateway to the Peak District, home to Rolls Royce and Royal Crown Derby tableware, and famously linked to the production of railway engines. But Derby is also full of surprises – there’s a majestic cathedral, a 19th century Market Hall where you can buy almost anything, a delightful river, vibrant and quirky shops, dozens of eateries, the ‘best place to drink real ale in the world’, galleries and museums, haunted houses, pretty gardens and a favoured place of Bonnie Prince Charlie.
