About this ebook

DERBYSHIRE has long been a popular tourist destination. For centuries the crowds have flocked to fashionable towns like Buxton, and a large swathe of the county was incorporated into the UK’s first National Park in 1951. But below these surface level attractions lie stranger aspects of county life, which tourists don’t get to see.

In The A-Z of Curious Derbyshire you will learn about local traditions from hen racing to well dressing, meet local eccentrics like the Matlock Amazon and the Wild Man of Bakewell, and discover sites mystifyingly absent from the local tourist board brochures, including the Devil’s Shovel Full and the Buxton Shoe Tree.
