In the historic suburb of Darley Abbey, part of the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site, Darley Park is a popular green space within walking distance of Derby's city centre.

There's plenty to see for nature lovers, with a butterfly garden and two larger wildlife sites: Darley and Nutwood Local Nature Reserve and Darley Park Wildflower Meadow. Keep your eyes out for the peregrine falcons that nest in Derby Cathedral.
