HOW TO FIND USDerbyshire Leisure Activities
Although it is very close to motorways and nearby cities, Risley benefits from a countryside location and a number of local footpaths can be used to explore the area.
Maywood Golf Club, laid out on the woodland countryside surrounding Risley, is also on Braeside Guest House's doorstep.
There are many tourist attractions slightly further afield, including Chatsworth House and Dovedale, known as 'The Gateway to the Peak District'.
The American Adventure Theme Park is also only a ten minute drive away, and Donnington Park Grand Prix Circuit is a short drive south along the M1.
Many guests at Braeside are in the area to see events at Donington Park, which range from motor racing to music festivals - particularly popular events include the 'Download' music festival in June and the 'track days', which feature car and motorcycle races.
Nottingham, Derby and Leicester all have popular tourist attractions that are easily accessible from this location, which is close to the borders of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire.
These attractions include Nottingham's Robin Hood Experience, Derby's Cathedral, and Leicester's National Space Centre.
