Neighbourhoods
Wilmorton is a small quiet neighbourhood as it is corralled by two mains roads and the railway works. I’m lucky enough to be the third last of a closed street which faces wooded common land and is well lit, there are local shops and eateries within fives minutes of the guest room, also some bigger shops including Wickes, Dunelm, Go Outdoors and B & M. It’s a friendly street, clean and calm.

City/town information
Derby is comparatively small but has consistently come in the top five of best cities. There is a pleasant and accessible town centre which houses the bus station and most things expected in a city centre. The city centre has enjoyed much rejuvenation over the last few years and a thriving link of shops, apartments and eateries is being developed in a direct line from the train station to the heart of the City Centre.
