You will also discover a sensory garden at the end of The Boardwalk to sit and relax and watch the world go by. Close by Findern is a lovely village situated about six miles west of Derby. The village green is overlooked by All Saints Parish Church where a carved semi-circular stone or ’tympanum’ discovered when the previous Norman Church was demolished in 1862, is preserved. Also close by is Willington with
its station and shops.
There are great walks in the area, and It is a great base to explore the Peak District with its market towns of Bakewell and Ashbourne, as well as its many pretty villages. Also, the National Trust properties of Calke Abbey, Kedleston Hall and Sudbury Hall with its museum of childhood are all within 10 miles. A little further is the National Trust owned Hardwick Hall, and the Duke of Devonshire’s Chatsworth Estate with its annual country fair and Adventure Farm for children. The National Memorial Arboretum and the rich heritage of Burton-on-Trent with its fantastic National Brewery Centre Museum is just down the road. You can also venture into the National Forest with the award-winning Conkers attraction just 10 miles away, plus Castle Donnington racetrack is just 20 minutes’ drive and Alton Towers is 30 minutes’ away. With so much to do and a beautifully design lodge what more could you ask for?

Everything was just right. One of our party is disabled and the lodge proved to be ideal for her. We also had our dog and she loved it too.

Excellent lodge. We did a canal boat cruise and ordered food from the Boat Cafe at Mercia Marina. Both excellent value and food was great. Ideally placed for a run to Burton and Derby. Also Chatsworth house and several other places of interest. Sue our host was outstanding and left a welcome basket for us. On hand for any queries. Would definitely recommend chestnut lodge .
