Alpaca Farm - You can visit to walk the alpacas every weekend at 10am or 2pm "Visit the farm and meet the alpacas. The experience includes a trek around the farm situated in the stunning amber Valley in Derbyshire and then spending time with some of the alpacas born on the farm this year." You have to book though.

There's a lake/pond here, an old waterwheel at the side of the stone cottage - many pondskaters in the Summer, Herons and I saw a Kingfisher today ( who flew away when I tried to take a photo! )

Described as one of Bolsover District’s best kept secrets, Doe Hill Country Park is on the outskirts of Tibshelf and Newton, covering 43 hectares. It is a mix of broad-leaved woodland, species-rich grassland and wetland and is the perfect spot for scenic walks, bike rides, bird watching and a spot of photography. Personally, I didn't think it was all that scenic except for lake (which was the other side of a hedge) and the buttercups!

Horsecar Brook flows south from Clay Cross and joins the young River Amber which flows out of Ogston Reservoir. The River flows from here to join the Derwent at Ambergate.
