Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Wirksworth

"One of the best photography spots in Nottingham is the Wollaton Park. There are deer walking around there (in a special section) and if you bring a good zoom lens, you can take some incredible shots, especially in Autumn. As we visited Nottingham in May, it was also very nice, green and pretty and I took a lot of photos in Wollaton Park."

"Wollaton Hall is an Elizabethan Manor with huge gardens and is a short bus ride from the city centre. Inside the house is a stuffed animal exhibit (quite creepy but fascinating) and the gardens and lake are a perfect location for a long romantic walk or even a picnic."

"The Nottingham Contemporary, situated in Nottingham’s old Lace Market district, is one of the largest contemporary art centres in the UK. The centre is home to an eclectic array of art exhibitions, film screenings and talks from prestigious figures across its 3,000 square metre floor area. There is also an elegant artist-designed café to rest tired feet."

"In 2009, the city opened one of Britain’s largest contemporary art centres. This is set in the Lave Market area, and there’s a small homage to Nottingham’s lace-making heritage in the traditional lace pattern on the facade. The gallery is free to enter and puts on up to five contemporary art exhibitions each year."

"This Buxton café is the perfect opportunity to sample the famous Buxton Pudding during your visit to this part of the countryside!. The moment you walk past the window of the tea room and catch a glimpse of the pudding, it’ll be hard to resist stepping inside. Be charmed by the accommodating staff, the fresh food and of course taste the Buxton pudding and the delicious Christmas pudding which is served all-year-round."

"A lovely little treasure trove of gorgeous foodie treats, with many items from around the Peak District and Derbyshire as well as quality producers from around the UK. Not forgetting of course producers of the famous Buxton Pudding!. There’s also some great homewares too."

"Home of the Original Buxton Pudding and a huge selection of Fine Foods, Gifts and Homeware. Our Tasting Rooms are open every day for the very finest hand made food. Situated just opposite the Opera House."

"Sans Patrie is a kind of tapas-style restaurant, and they have absolutely loads of vegetarian and vegan-friendly options on their menu. The best bit about tapas for me is getting to pick a bunch of dishes and enjoy them all – perfect for the indecisive eaters among us (like me!). Even their breakfast menu has plenty of vegan options, so whatever the time of day, you can be sure that you’ll find something to suit you here."
