Country park and cafe that is a very popular destination for cyclists as flat, traffic free routes to it from Derby.
Lots of secret areas of the park to explore.

There's no entry to the castle, but you can look through some of the windows. It's in a run-down state, would cost a fortune to restore but nevertheless quite magnificent inside. Reminded me of buildings in Venice with the gilded ornate art decorated ceilings and golden pillars.
