Timeline
14:49
Grab a drink at Derby's last surviving coaching inn. The timbered building dates back to 1650 and offers a cozy atmosphere to settle in before heading out.
15:59
Walk to the riverbank for the golden hour view. The Derby Riverboat spot offers a clear line of sight toward the southwest, where the sun sets on this date. The 8-minute walk from the anchor keeps it close and easy.
17:04
End the evening with a stroll through Darley Park. This 80-acre urban park on the banks of the River Derwent is just north of the city centre, providing a peaceful space to digest the day and the view.
Local tip
The pub opens at noon on Sundays and weekdays, so you have plenty of time to arrive early. Check the riverboat schedule if you want commentary from Sir David Suchet, though the sunset view stands on its own.
Check before you go
