Derby (DE1) is a city and unitary authority in the East Midlands of England, situated on the River Derwent approximately 130 miles north of London. The Derwent Valley Mills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 2001, follows the River Derwent through Derby and north Derbyshire. It includes the mills at Darley Abbey immediately north of the city centre, as well as the Strutt's mills at Belper and Milford and the original Arkwright mills at Cromford further north. The Derwent Valley Mills are recognised as the birthplace of the modern factory system, as it was in these mills that Richard Arkwright first applied water power to mechanised cotton spinning on an industrial scale in the 1770s. Darley Abbey Mills, a group of late 18th and early 19th century mill buildings on the western bank of the Derwent within the city, are among the best-preserved examples in the World Heritage Site.
Kedleston Hall, a Grade I listed Neoclassical mansion designed by Robert Adam between approximately 1759 and 1765 for Sir Nathaniel Curzon, stands 4 miles north-west of the city centre in parkland designed by the landscape architect William Eure. It is considered one of the finest examples of Robert Adam's work and is now a National Trust property. Derby Cathedral, which has medieval origins but was largely rebuilt in the 18th and early 19th centuries, is notable for its Perpendicular tower, one of the earliest Perpendicular towers in England, and its wrought iron screen by Robert Bakewell. The Peak District National Park boundary begins approximately 6 miles north of the city centre.
East Midlands Railway services from Derby to London St Pancras International take around 1 hour 30 minutes on some services. Derby to Nottingham takes around 25 minutes on some services.
