Ticknall is a quiet village nestled in the south Derbyshire countryside, boasting beautiful walks through the neighbouring National Trust Park of Calke Abbey, a lovely local village shop and three pubs the Chequres, The Staff of Life and The Wheel Inn. Melbourne is a small, Georgian market town in a delightful part of South Derbyshire, on the edge of The National Forest. It is about 8 miles south of Derby, and has a good range of shops, pubs, and restaurants. The town is also home to the church of St Michael with St Mary, which is on the site of a much earlier Anglo Saxon building, and is regarded as one of the finest Norman Parish Churches in the country. Swadlincote is also 8 miles north; there is much to enjoy in the town including a lovely relaxing walk, through rolling South Derbyshire countryside, starting from Melbourne’s medieval marketplace. Two of the county’s gems, Melbourne Hall, and the Parish Church of St Michael’s, are passed in the early part of your stroll. Make the most of this attractive location all year round.
