Chesterfield is a solid, no-nonsense town in the north of Derbyshire, best known for its famously twisted church spire and its proper market town feel. It's the sort of place that blends history and practicality—you'll find centuries-old streets lined with modern shops, a lively market square, and a strong community spirit that's still going strong despite all the changes over the years. Sitting between the Peak District and the city of Sheffield, it's well-placed, well-connected, and full of character once you scratch beneath the surface.

The history of Chesterfield goes back a long way—it was granted its market charter in 1204, though people were settling in the area long before that. It grew as a centre for trade, thanks to its position on key travel routes, and later became a hub of industry during the Victorian period, particularly with coal mining, engineering and ironworks. The arrival of the railway in the 19th century helped the town expand quickly. The famous Crooked Spire belongs to the Church of St Mary and All Saints, which dates back to the 14th century and is still the town's standout landmark. Today, the population is around 76,000, and while the heavy industry has eased off, the town's working roots still shape its identity.

There's plenty to see and do around Chesterfield. The open-air and covered markets are a staple of the town centre, with local produce, clothes and all sorts of oddities on offer. The town has a great range of pubs, shops and eateries, and there are green spots like Queen's Park for a stroll or a picnic. The Pomegranate Theatre and Winding Wheel offer live performances, films and community events. Just outside town, you've got Bolsover Castle, one of English Heritage's most striking properties—part stately home, part defensive fort, and packed with history. Hardwick Hall, a National Trust property, is another local gem, built by the formidable Bess of Hardwick and filled with tapestries, gardens and grandeur.

If you fancy going a bit further, Derbyshire's full of cracking days out. Chatsworth House is a big one—stunning stately home, acres of gardens and a farmyard too. Haddon Hall is another gem, with its medieval charm and romantic riverside setting. The Peak District National Park is on the doorstep, with walking routes, cycling trails and villages like Bakewell and Castleton to explore. Crich Tramway Village is great for families, while the Heights of Abraham in Matlock Bath offers caves, cable cars and views that stretch for miles. You'll never run out of options.

Getting to and from Chesterfield is easy. The town sits just off the A61 and close to junction 29 of the M1, giving you decent road links north and south. The train station is on the Midland Main Line, so you've got direct services to Sheffield, Derby, Nottingham, Leeds, and London. For air travel, East Midlands Airport is about 45 minutes away by car, and Doncaster Sheffield Airport is also within reach. Local buses run regularly through nearby villages and into the Peak District, and once you're in town, everything's within walking distance.

Derbyshire itself is a proper all-rounder of a county. You've got dramatic peaks, quiet market towns, and a bit of everything in between. It's a county with working-class grit and stately charm side by side—one minute you're walking through the shadow of an old mill, the next you're in a grand house or looking out over moorland. It's a place that takes pride in its past but doesn't dwell on it too much, with a friendly, straightforward feel and a genuine love for the landscape that surrounds it.
