The following are the most recent additions for 2008. KEDLESTON Only three miles from Derby city centre, Kedleston Hall, a magnificent Neo-classical Georgian house, stands in over 800 acres of Italian style classical landscape. The ancient church is all that remains of the medieval village of Kedleston, swept away in 1759 when the construction of the present hall began.
KEDLESTON WALK
This three and a half mile walk takes you through open parkland and woodland, along good, easy to follow paths with only gentle gradients. There are excellent views across the park of the southern side of Kedleston Hall. In wet weather the walk can be quite muddy and slippery in places. It is not suitable for wheelchairs or buggies. Kedleston is located to the north-west of Derby on the Allestree to Hulland Ward road. {Note: The walk can only be completed when the park is open, please check park opening times (Tel. 01332 842338) before setting off.}

THE CATHEDRAL COFFEE SHOP - DERBY
Winner Best Tea/Coffee Shop in the 2004 Derbyshire Food and Drinks Awards.
FARMERS MARKETS'
According to research from farms, households spent 1.5 million pounds last year in Britain's 4,000 farm shops and another 120 million pounds in farmers' markets. Around a third of people have used a farmers' market or food shop in the last 12 months. Demand is so high in many areas of the country, that it is now out pacing supply.
