Close your eyes, open your mind, and let me take you into Belper Parks, a green jewel in the historic centre of Belper, a bustling market town in Derbyshire's world renowned Derwent Valley World Heritage Site.
Stretched before you is a pleasing mix of 50 acres of varied grassland, deciduous woodland and all important pockets of scrub land, together with a bluebell wood, a wildflower meadow and a babbling stream called the "Coppice Brook."
