Famous Trains Model Railway

Reviewed By C7902NEgrahamj

I recently visited this attraction for the second time. It's a great place to visit to see all of the layouts of which most were working. On the large layout there was a wide range of model trains going around the various circuits. It is a wonderful layout but in certain areas, it's starting to look a bit tired and perhaps could do with a bit of a clean. This Model Railway is situated a small distance from the Car Park which is fine for most people but people who are less abled or struggle with walking would have a problem. I would certainly visit this place again.

Great day out for the kids and adults too. It was our first visit to Clip n Climb Derby. Ace variety of walls to climb, amazing setup. Tyler and Harrison were on hand for the safety briefing, helping with the harness and in the arena throughout, lovely boys, brilliant with the kids. Lovely friendly staff especially Victoria on the reception desk. Real good variety of food, clean premises, all in all a fun day out, already booked in for our next visit. The girls loved it would definitely recommend.

Pickford's House

Reviewed By Jon007 - South Yorkshire, United Kingdom

Excellent find - and free to visit and free car park. However went round the block three times before we found it - and the car park requires very careful negotiation, and moving to the centre of the road before you can turn in. Pity there was no brochure/guidebook to take away,although we were told we could photograph any exhibit or descriptive notices... Lots of steps, so maybe not the best location if you are mobility impaired. We were just in time to catch the couture exhibition - the clothes of Marchioness Curzon of Kedleston. Really good (says my wife...) Lots of fascinating bits and pieces and accessories from the 1920s/30s. The house itself was very interestingly dressed, though some items in the rooms had been moved and didn't match the descriptive sheets which explained what everything was! Well worth a couple of hours - and make a gift-aided donation when you leave!

Great fun (if you class being terrified as fun lol) Had a 2 hour session so we did 4 activities...abseiling, climbing, aerial assault course and the cave. Instructor was great and looked after us well. It’s a bit chilly in there so make sure you are wearing a warm layer in the colder months. Defo recommend for thrill seekers or for something a bit different
