Do you know of a fabulous place in Derbyshire?


Derbyshire is a huge place, I can't possibly cover all of it on my own! So, here's where I ask for your help.......do you know of a fabulous place in Derbyshire?

A coffee shop, farm shop, deli, gallery, eatery, farm shop, local artist? To be given the fabulousplaces.co.uk stamp of approval, they need to have that special something. Something that makes them stand out from the run of the mill.

For example...here are some of the sites I plan to include on fabulousplaces.co.uk:

Fresh Basil, Belper - a deli and cafe offering fresh local produce. The food is amazing!

The Bottlekiln, West Hallam - attention to detail must be their mission! They sell a variety of unique items for the home and an array of handmade jewellery, cards, gift wrap and much more. There is a cafe offering fresh coffee and homemade cakes, pies and quiche. The cafe and shops are set in what was once a working bottlekiln.

Koo Coffee Bar & Deli, Chesterfield - incredibly stylish atmosphere to soak up whilst enjoying a latte.

Avante Garde, Baslow - the inspiration for fabulousplaces.co.uk! The shop stylishly offers an array of beautiful items for the home, along with jewellery, cards and gifts. Again, like the Bottlekiln, the attention to detail is stunning.

So, they are some of the places you'll find on fabulousplaces.co.uk, which will, hopefully, give you an idea of what I'm looking for. There's a Bank Holiday just around the corner, which means I'll be in Derbyshire looking for more fab places but, to save my little feet, if you do know of any places, I would love to hear from you!

All the places on the site will have the fabulousplaces.co.uk stamp of approval, so I'll be visiting all the places recommended to me.

Hi Deb
What a great idea for a website!
How about Scented Willow in Ripley? (www.scentedwillow.co.uk)
It's new to Ripley, but we have already bought a colleague a gorgeous gift basket from there. There is loads of handmade soaps, candles and other lovely smellies all at good prices. We had the gift basket specially made up and got a few extras thrown in, so it was really good value. The owner is really friendly too and this is her first business...
