The North and Central parts of the County are dominated by the [[Pennine Hills]]. Englands oldest National Park, the [[Peak District]] lies mainly within this county, and is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Peak District Towns include, [[Matlock]], [[Buxton]], [[Ashbourne]] and [[Bakewell]] (though Buxton and Ashbourne are just outside the Peak District Authority boundary). The east of the County is more industrial and it is here that the county's second largest town [[Chesterfield]] is located (with its famous crooked spire). The county town of [[Derby]] is in the south of the county. Other main towns include [[Ilkeston]], and [[Heanor]]. | The North and Central parts of the County are dominated by the [[Pennine Hills]].
