Derbyshire is a beautiful county filled with old market towns and villages where you can amble down cobbled streets and olde worlde walking trails.
Perhaps one of the biggest connections to Pride and Prejudice is Bakewell, a site that is believed to have inspired Jane Austen when she visited Derbyshire while penning her novel.
