The Old Poachers Oak, Markeaton Park: This ancient oak tree, behind the Famous Trains building, is hollow in the middle. Its imaginative name comes from its use as a hiding place by illegal poachers when it was part of Markeaton Estate. Although it looks like a small tree, it is probably one of the oldest on the park and could tell some stories – perhaps the next one will be yours.

Markeaton Park is the most visited park in the Deby area attracting over one million visitors per year. It's about 207 acres. The Mundy family owned the area from 1516 until they gave the park to Derby council in the early 20th century.

The woodland path at Markeaton Park provides a beautifully colourful backdrop to your run at certain times of the year.

The Lakeside Path at Markeaton Park

A beautiful park with lots of open spaces, information about flora and fauna, streams and a lake, as well as a small coffee shop.

Visited again (not sure why!). Still not a very good cafe but it is in a nice building. Will be using the close by and better cafes in the future. Prices seem expensive and quality is only average. For example, £2.70 for a smallish cappuccino dispensed from a machine (server presses one button!).

Very fun trail

Orangery that is now a cafe. Previously part of Markeaton Hall (now demolished). The orangery and other outbuildings survive and there is a series of small craft businesses in the outbuildings. The cafe is okay (no better) and there are 2 other cafes very close by (to the west on Markeaton Lane). The one at the Markeaton Garden Centre (The Potting Shed) is recommended over the others.
