Allestree Park
and Hall comprises of 320 acres of woodland, open parkland, a
lake, and a golf course. The golf course was established in
1930. The Hall was built in the late 18th Century and is a
grade II listed building but has laid abandoned since the
1980s. Next to the hall is pet's corner which is home to
rabbits, ducks, peacocks and chickens.
The park can be accessed from either Woodlands Road or off
Duffield Road. There is parking facilities at both entrances.
During the war
the army requisitioned the park and hall, and after the war,
the ownership passed to Derby Corporation, now the City
Council, who continue to preserve the park for the people of
Derby. |
