Curly Bridge

Highlight • Structure

Local landmark for cyclists and pedestrians. Bridge over the busy A38 linking Markeaton Park with routes into Derby city centre.

The Orangery Café, Markeaton Park

Highlight • Historical Site

Orangery that is now a cafe. Previously part of Markeaton Hall (now demolished). The orangery and other outbuildings survive and there is a series of small craft businesses in the outbuildings. The cafe is okay (no better) and there are 2 other cafes very close by (to the west on Markeaton Lane). The one at the Markeaton Garden Centre (The Potting Shed) is recommended over the others.

Sustrans Millennium Milepost – Derwent Valley Mills

Highlight • Monument

Nice little milepost featured along with a lovely bike/footpath through the park. Nice to be away from the traffic but do need to watch out for straying pedestrians and their dogs.
