Derby is a city that literally changed the world. Derby was the birthplace of the industrial revolution. Today Derby shares the best of both worlds, a vibrant, contemporary yet traditional city scene, complimented by the glorious surrounding countryside of Derbyshire and the Peak District.
Derby is famous for setting in motion Britain's Industrial Revolution with some of the countrys first factories and spinning mills. It is equally famous for later factories of Rolls Royce, Royal Crown Derby and Railway engineering. The thriving City centre boasts an excellent range of entertainment venues, attractions, pubs, restaurants, parks and open spaces.
