Kedleston HallKedleston Hall was built between 1759 and 1765 for the Curzon family, who have lived in the area since the 12th Century. Exhibiting the least-altered sequence of Robert Adam interiors in England, with magnificent state rooms and a fine art collection, the Hall is surrounded by 820 acres of historic parkland, with beautiful series of lakes and cascades. Visit the restored 18th century pleasure gardens and view All Saints’ Church which is all that remains of the medieval hamlet of Kedleston. The Hall has toilets, food, and outside seating, making it an ideal rest stop. For more information on Kedleston Hall, visit www.nationaltrust.org.uk

Mackworth VillageThe small village of Mackworth is built around a quiet lane on the opposite side of the A52 from the Mackworth Estate. In the village there are a couple of buildings of historical interest, the Parish Church of All Saints, the remains of Mackworth Castle and a nineteenth century school house. The school house is a polychromatic brickwork, in the style of William Butterfield. All that remains of the castle is the 15th Century turreted gatehouse, which stands as the entrance to one of the farms in the village. The church is set back off the road, in the East part of the village, and was built in the 14th Century.
