Welcome to Markeaton

Markeaton is a small village located in Derbyshire, England. It is situated on the outskirts of the city of Derby and is known for its beautiful countryside and historic landmarks. The village is home to Markeaton Park, which is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The park features a lake, gardens, and a variety of recreational activities, including a miniature railway and a golf course.

One of the most notable landmarks in Markeaton is Markeaton Hall, a historic country house that dates back to the 16th century. The hall was once the home of the Mundy family, who were prominent landowners in the area. Today, the hall is used as a venue for weddings and other events. Visitors can also explore the gardens and grounds of the hall, which feature a walled garden, a maze, and a woodland walk.

Another popular attraction in Markeaton is the Derby Arboretum, which is located just a short distance from the village. The arboretum is a public park that was designed by the famous landscape architect Joseph Paxton in the 19th century. It is considered to be one of the first public parks in England and is known for its beautiful gardens and collection of trees and shrubs. The arboretum is a popular destination for picnics, walks, and other outdoor activities.
