Long Eaton attractions |
|
 Long Eaton lies in Derbyshire, a county associated
with the Peak District (as well as parts of Staffordshire, Yorkshire
and Cheshire), while the northern part of the county overlaps
into the Pennines. Wedged in between Manchester, Sheffield and
Derby, the landscape comes in two forms with the harsh grey gritstone
of the Dark Peak contrasting with the pale southern limestone
hills of the White Peak. Here the deep-forested dales are populated
with small stone villages, walking trails along former railway
routes, complex cave systems and spectacular historic country
houses, the seats of the Dukes of Devonshire and Rutland. |
