Ideas of places to visit and local food/drink
Sightseeing
[5mins walk] Darley park is a World Heritage Site and is less than 5mins walk from the Butlers Quarters. It's a beautiful park with gentle hills and a lovely walkway along the river (pushchair friendly). There is also a fun walkway through a small woodland area, and walled hydrangea and butterfly gardens.
You could visit for an hour or spend the whole day here.
There is a cafe in the park with outside seating. Bacon, sausage and egg sandwiches are a bargain - simple but very satisfying!
There are a number of more upmarket bars, wine bars and cafes at the Abbey Mills, just at the end of Darley Park at the weir. Many have riverside seating - great for daytime or evening visits. It's a 20min walk from the Butlers Quarters to get there. You could also get a cab for ~£5.
