The club’s team used to be called Falcons but has now been renamed Derby County Football Club.

Derby Cathedral

Derby Cathedral is located in Derby. The Anglican diocese authority made the decision to make this church a cathedral due to its prestigious reputation in the region. During construction, James Gibbs designed many churches throughout England. The addition that took place during the 1500s led to major changes such as the construction of a new tower and resulted in additional space for parish members without affecting what is now known as Derby Cathedral.

Markeaton Park

Markeaton Park is Derby’s most visited park and it’s no wonder why. It contains many activities for all ages including fishing, horse riding, tennis courts, and a nursery garden, plus there’s plenty of grassy areas to run around in or just sit and soak up some sun. One of the best features of Markeaton Park is its variety. Not only does it contain nature trails through meadows and mature woodland but also through an old army camp and tunnels so be prepared to get a little bit muddy during your visit! The park traces its origins back to the mediaeval period when land was set aside for deer hunting and became home to wild boar, wolves, and bears. Close by you can even see remnants from the Second World War when the army used this area as a training ground with huge tunnels stretching deep into the ground designed to practice battle drills in complete secrecy!
