New additions to this site for next month will be as follows.... ELVASTON The pretty village of Elvaston, dominated by its castle and gardens, together with Thulston and Ambaston make up the parish of Elvaston. Despite its close proximity to the southern fringes of Derby, the area remains rural in character with several working farms in the neighbourhood. Thulston the largest of the three, has the only pub, Elvaston has the church, the village hall and the castle and grounds. Ambaston is tucked away close to the River Trent.
ELVASTON WALK After passing round the perimeter of the gardens at Elvaston Castle, this level, easy walk takes you out to the River Derwent and back. The starting point of this three and a half mile walk is the car park at the castle. After the walk has been completed the delightful gardens at Elvaston Castle can be explored. When the castle changes ownership some access restrictions will be imposed. Elvaston is located to the south-east of Derby and can be accessed from Borrowash in the north and from the Alvaston to Shardlow road in the south.
