And there are museums, galleries and other signs of Derbyshire’s industrial heritage everywhere - it really is a captivating place. Of course, no holiday cottage in Derbyshire would be complete without some child-friendly attractions so that’s where places like Conkers, The Peak Railway and Mill House Animal Sanctuary come in.
