Timeline
15:34
Start at the Brunswick Inn, a characterful old railway building near the station. Order a drink and enjoy the original microbrewery atmosphere while the afternoon light is still good.
15:59
Walk to the Midland Railway War Memorial. Find a spot facing southwest to catch the final moments of daylight.
16:19
Watch the sun set toward the southwest behind the memorial. The golden light fades into twilight over the First World War monument.
16:39
Walk southwest through the Derby Arboretum, England's first publicly owned urban park. The path is well-lit and peaceful as you leave the city centre behind.
Local tip
The Brunswick Inn is open until 23:00 on weekdays and 22:30 on Sundays, so you have plenty of time to linger before or after the sunset.
