Neighbouring towns include Staveley, Bolsover and Worksop. Staveley, along with Chesterfield, is the other main town in the Borough of Chesterfield. The town can be reached via the A619 and is just 5 miles from Chesterfield. Bolsover is just 6 miles from Chesterfield, and most notably is home to Bolsover Castle. Now under the care of English Heritage, today the castle is a Grade I listed building, open to the public and offers spectacular views over Derbyshire. And then just half an hour away from Chesterfield, you’ll find the market town of Worksop which is accessible via the A619 road.
There’s plenty of green space in Chesterfield, including parks, playgrounds, open space and woodland. Chesterfield Borough Council not only recognise green space as being important for wellbeing, but also for its ecological and environmental value, which means green space is at the heart of Chesterfield’s regeneration. The three largest parks in Chesterfield are Queen’s Park, Poolsbrook Country Park and Holmebrook Valley Park. Both Poolsbrook and Holmebrook Valley Park are home to lakes, play areas, footpaths and cycle paths. And whilst there’s lots of green space to be enjoyed within the town of Chesterfield, the Peak District National Park is home to some of the most beautiful walks, hikes and landscapes in the country.
