| Description: | Derby is a good size city with easy access to most places by foot. You can walk across the main shopping centre in twenty minutes. Most of the Halls are roughly halfway between the centre and the Kedleston Road campus, so getting about is easy - especially as buses link all the main campuses and Halls.Escape to the countryside and beyond is also an easy option. The Peak District National Park is just thirty minutes away by train, bus or car. It's the most visited National Park - after Mount Fuji - in the world. Derby's geographical location is an added bonus - London is just two hours away by train. |
