Elvaston Castle
 

This is Elvaston Castle, a Gothic masterpiece designed by James Wyatt in the 1800s for the Earl of Harrington. The house is located about 4 miles south-east of Derby and is set in over 200 acres of woods, parkland and formal gardens. The park is now owned and run by Derbyshire County Council. There are many other attractions in the park such as lakes, children's playgrounds, tearooms and a caravan site. The parkland plays host to many events throughout the year; one of the most popular for steam heritage fans is the Elvaston Castle Steam Rally.
