In the morning, begin your exploration of the 6 acres of land that encompass The Water Tower, keen ramblers can also explore the nearby Poulter Country Park which joins The Archaeological Way or head into the Peak District National Park for more challenging trails leading to the summits of peaks like Bleaklow and Black Hill for breath-taking panoramas across the English countryside.

The town of Bolsover in Derbyshire has been around since before the time of the Domesday Book. The region features a variety of retail establishments, dining options, and drinking establishments, in addition to green spaces and recreational facilities. English Heritage runs Bolsover Castle, the town's main attraction. This castle, perched high above the surrounding landscape, looks like something out of a fairy tale. The castle, which dates back to the 17th century, features beautiful artwork, huge grounds, and a Discovery Center. Chesterfield, noted for the crooked spire of St. Mary and All Saints Church, is only 11 kilometres (7 miles) away. This region is famous for its varied scenery and great walking options because of its location between the Peak District National Park and Sherwood Forest.
