Why Move to Derbyshire?
One of the most popular reasons to live in Derbyshire is that it is in a super central location. This large county spans both the Peak District and the Midlands and is a well-connected transport hub.
Derbyshire sits in the middle of the UK and has easy access to its own city Derby, with Manchester and Sheffield all perfectly commutable. Additionally, you can get to Leeds, Nottingham, and even Birmingham within a reasonable travel time.
The county was once the beating heart of the industrial age of England. In the early 18th century, Richard Arkwright established cotton-spinning mills, using pioneering machinery, by the River Derwent at Cromford and Matlock Bath. Both these towns fall within Derbyshire’s borders.
The region has a long history which can be traced back to over 10,000 years ago when humans settled here after the last Ice Age. It is a county of contrasts, busy towns, and quiet villages surrounded by areas of great natural beauty, home to the incredible Peak District National Park. Its numerous large cities offer both residents and visitors a chance to soak up historical sites and lively entertainment venues.
Arguably Derbyshire is most famous for its array of unique, stunning country houses that span the length and breadth of this beautiful county. Chatsworth House is one of the most notable. With all this to boast about, the cherry on the top has got to be the county’s economically priced homes. According to Zoopla, property prices fall well below the 2022 national average.
The county scores highly when it comes to its education standards, making it ideal for raising a family. The economic development of the county is ongoing, and a number of interesting projects are either in the planning and consultation stage or have already been completed. Yet to be confirmed is the High Speed 2 rail line will pass through Derbyshire at some point in the near future, making it even more accessible than it already is.
Having more than 500 miles of superb countryside to explore, on foot, on your bike, or by car, your weekends will be booked up before you know it. A forward-thinking county, Derbyshire covers everything you need to live a good life.
Working in Derbyshire
Many who relocate to a new area do so to look for work. As Derbyshire has a booming economy, many job seekers are successful in their endeavor to find employment. The county enjoys a higher-than-average employment rate, with more than 30,000 businesses creating around 300,000 jobs.
You can expect to earn an average of £28,000 per year in the county. This is higher than the national average which currently sits at £24,600. In a time when high numbers of businesses have sadly closed, many in Derbyshire have managed to survive. The manufacturing sector is by far the highest employer in the county with the areas of Health and Retail following.
Some very famous national companies have their headquarters in Derbyshire: Rolls Royce, one of the world’s leading aerospace companies, based here since before World War I is located in Derby. Thorntons the chocolate manufacturer is located just south of Alfreton, whilst Toyota, which is one of the UK’s largest car manufacturing plants, sits in Burnaston just south of Derby.
Similar to many counties, Derbyshire has much to offer when it comes to Tourism.
To the north, the Peak District National Park attracts 10 million visitors per year and generates an assortment of employment opportunities.
There are so many job opportunities across the county covering all types of businesses and sectors. Hopefully, there will be one that you are interested in and one that you successfully manage to land.
Good luck!
Derbyshire Schools & Education
Relocating with children adds a whole new dimension to the experience. Attending a school that achieves good results will make a difference to your child’s future.
