The Peak District National Park & Chesterfield Chesterfield Chesterfield Open Market Chesterfield is renowned for its crooked spire and outdoor marketplace. The market place has been in existence since the 12th century and today has over 200 Stalls Chesterfield St Mary's Church It is believed the crooked spire was built in the 14th Century by in- experienced builders who used wood that had not been seasoned correctly. Over the next few decades, as the wood dried out the spire took on its now familiar shape. Other legends state that the tower decided to take a better look at a very beautiful young bride who had just been married within the church. The Peak District National Park National wonders range from the heights of black rock and tour to the depth of fantastic caverns such as Blue John and trek Cliff, where the beautiful translucent mineral called Blue John is found. Above ground, stately homes such as Hardwick Hall and Chatworth maintain their own time less aristocratic atmosphere. Walk The Beautiful Dales The Peak district seems to be dominated by a rockey grandeur but is softened by ravishing stretches of green such as Dove Dale with it's sparkingling rivers and beautiful walks Little has changed for hundreds of years with splendid views and exhilarating walking. The Derbyshire dales are a joy for casual or the experienced walker. Visit Chatsworth House Dating from 1687 Chatsworth is the work of three Dukes of Devonshire. Whilst not the largest house in England it is certainly one of the grandest. After the wonders of the house there are still the 100 acres of gardens to explore most of which are the work of Sir Joseph Paxton architect of the Crystal Palace.
