Rowsley
Tucked away from the main road between Haddon Hall and Peak Shopping Village, this little park is next to the football field so gives plenty of room to run around.
The park is just over the bridge after Caudwells Mill which also gives plenty of opportunity for exploring, feeding the ducks and picnics.
The village also has their Well Dressing week at the end of June, so look out for the wells too.
