The north and centre of Derbyshire have uplands containing the majority of the Peak District, which has been designated a national park. They include Kinder Scout, at 636m (2,087ft) the highest point in the county. The River Derwent is the longest in the county, at 66 miles (106km), and flows south until it meets the River Trent just south of Derby. Church Flatts Farm at Coton in the Elms, near Swadlincote, is the furthest point from the sea in the UK. (Full article...)
Duffield is a village, situated next to the River Derwent in Derbyshire at the lower end of the Pennines around five miles north of Derby, England. There have been humans in the area, probably, from the Iron Age. While it has been suggested that, once farming began, they would have inhabited the plains of the Derwent and Ecclesbourne, they would most likely have retreated to higher ground during the winter floods.
