Bolsover
This is a town with a national landmark as its claim to fame. Bolsover Castle dominates the skyline and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The town is perfectly located for easy access to Sheffield, Nottingham and Derby – all more or less the same distance away and this makes Bolsover an ideal place to set up a new home if you need to commute, especially with the M1 nearby too. The nearest train station is at Chesterfield but that’s only 5 miles away so it’s a good alternative to driving.
Derbyshire has a share of the Peak District too, so you’ll have that fabulous landmark on the horizon too. The town itself has plenty of local facilities and because the castle puts it on the tourist map, you will benefit from all the independent shops, twice-weekly market, cafés and restaurants too. It’s a cheerful, thriving place to live.
