Chesterfield, Derbyshire

 

Chesterfield is known as the Peak District's Border Country, where the town meets the countryside, where the Peak District meets Robin Hood Country.

 

Chesterfield's most famous landmark is without doubt the iconic crooked spire, which stands on the town skyline which is a wonder to many. Chesterfield also has plenty to offer in things to do and entertainment. Queen's Park has a boating lake, miniature train and what is considered to be one of the most attractive cricket grounds in the country, all close to the town centre. There is also a theatre, concert and exhibition centre and a 10 screen cinema, as well as a sports centre with three swimming pools, squash courts and gym.

 

The Town centre of Chesterfield has retained much of its pre-war era layout. Chesterfield is home to one of the largest open air markets in Britain, the stalls sitting either side of the historic Market Hall. Markets are held every Monday, Friday and Saturday, with a flea market every Thursday and a farmers' market on the second Thursday and last Sunday of every month.

 

In the middle of town, a collection of narrow medieval streets make up "The Shambles", which house The Royal Oak, one of Britain's oldest pubs. At Chesterfield Museum and Art Gallery you can discover the town's history from as far back as Roman times, through the industrial revolution and the arrival of the railways right up to the present day.
