I made a trip to Derbyshire at the beginning of the Olympic celebrations this summer. The first stop was Derby, which I found to be quite attractive and historical. I enjoyed the variety of shops here, and the city was also decorated for the Olympic games and Diamond Jubilee.

After visiting the city of Derby, I visited the Heights of Abraham in Derbyshire. The attraction has a couple of caverns to visit, and the caverns were used in the mining days. There's a cable car ride to the top with excellent views over Matlock Bath. A restaurant and stone/fossil museum is also at the top of the hill, and visitors have numerous trails that they can walk along.

After visiting the Heights of Abraham, I visited the Tramway Museum. A museum and several sheds of trams from all over the world could be seen here, and visitors could ride on a selection of trams. The trams went through mock village streets and past an old sweet shop and buildings. A classic MINI event was happening when I visited with MINI cars in the old village setting.
