Belper River Gardens
Park
👍 Exceptionally well maintained public river garden, not loads to do; however, it's perfect for a lazy Sunday in the sun.
Small hut selling teas and coffees plus cold drinks; although, I believe this is temporary until the impressive looking new cafe is built.
Ice cream van is there, but it seems to...

Crich Memorial Tower
War memorial
👍👍 I have been past the site so many times, this time I wanted to see what it was like. The weather was perfect.
The grounds are immaculate. The toilet and cafe the same.
The climb to the top of the tower is not too bad, the view from the top is well worth the climb.
It's just a lovely place to visit.

There’s a lovely war memorial in the centre with remembrance themed benches, a kids play area with splash pool, benches all around if you want to soak in the peace and quiet. The one thing that lets it down is the s...

Eyes Meadow
Park
👍👍 Eyes meadows. A lovely nature reserve. A shallow slow river runs through it. Woodland area. Meadow areas and pond areas keep dogs under control and keep to the paths. A walk around the reserve including going to the playing fields next to it will take about an hour. Walk slowly to enjoy all there is...
