Chesterfield in General

Chesterfield is in north Derbyshire and is around 10 miles away from Sheffield. Chesterfield and the surrounding areas have a population of around 100,000 but the town itself has around 70,000 people. When visiting Chesterfield the first sign you see will declare 'Chesterfield - Historic Market Town'. Which is true. I think I can remember there being around 250-300 market stalls available. Chesterfield is most popular for it's famous Crooked Spire, which is why our local football team are nicknamed 'The Spireites'. The Crooked spire is located on top of Chesterfields largest church and is located in the town centre. A few years ago the ...  Read the complete review

Chesterfield is a great place to live and has lots to see and do...it's a good place to base yourself for touring the Peak District and is with easy reach of Sheffield, Nottingham and Derby. HOW TO GET HERE - It's less than 10 minutes from Junction 29 of the M1. We have a Main line railway station; trains from London come via St Pancras (it takes about 2 hours on a good day!).

One of England's hidden glories is the Market town of Chesterfield. Situated just a few miles south of Sheffield, Chesterfield sits on the borders of Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire. With the M1 running alongside, Chesterfield could be your first choice of home if you commute to nearby cities. I moved to Chesterfield in April 2001 from the dump city of Coventry. Whay a difference. Despite being only one of the 500 ethnic families in this town, I was instantly accepted. There's no racism! It's true! People up here accept you at face value; colour, religion or any "difference" is irrelevant. I used to live on a ...  Read the complete review

I am biased as I live in Chesterfield but you can find loads to do here. First thing most people think of when they visit Chesterfield is a trip up the Crooked Spire. Located centrally to all shopping facilities is St Marys and All Saints church. There are many stories about how the spire got crooked. The church do have trips up and the views I have been told are spectacular. just recently in Easter 2000 the new Vicar Lane shopping complex was built. This has brought back some wellknown stores to the town and some new ones. With it been new it is well worth a look around preferrably without the kids or your hubby. There is also The Pavements shopping centre indoors ...  Read the complete review
