The Derbyshire town of Ilkeston sits along the River Erewash and is steeped in a rich industrial history, namely coal mining, iron working and lace making industries. Today, visitors can explore its Victorian museum, play a round of golf at Erewash Valley Golf Club and strolls around Victoria Park, as well as enjoying a selection of shops, pubs, cafés and restaurants. Seven miles away is the city of Nottingham, and along the way, you will pass the 16th century Wollaton Hall, Gardens and Deer Park. Nottingham boasts a wealth of entertainment, with world-class sport, live performances and outstanding art, as well as fine dining experiences at Michelin star restaurants and unique independent stores for shopping. Slightly further afield, Derby boasts excellent shopping facilities and a Cathedral Quarter, which has great selection of cafes, restaurants and bars.
