The following are the most recent additions for 2008. LITTLE EATON Little Eaton situated four miles to the north of Derby, lies between the River Derwent on the western and the A38 Bypass on the eastern side of the village. It has expanded rapidly in recent years as a commuter village, but still does retain a measure of independence with two busy industrial estates, one between the New Inn and Clock House, and the other close by the former station goods yard. The village’s industrial past goes back a long way. There was a working corn mill on the site of the present Peckwash Mill in the 13th century.
LITTLE EATON WALK Mainly along well established footpaths and surfaced paths, which provide good views of the countryside around Little Eaton. There are some short, but fairly steep ascents and descents on this walk of about four miles. Parts of the walk can be quite muddy and slippery after rain. The starting point for the walk is St Paul’s Church; nearby parking is available in the village streets, but please park considerately. Little Eaton is located on the B6179, just to the north of Derby. Easy access is available from the A38 both on the northern and southern sides of the village.

THE CATHEDRAL COFFEE SHOP - DERBY
Winner Best Tea/Coffee Shop in the 2004 Derbyshire Food and Drinks Awards.
FARMERS MARKETS'
According to research from farms, households spent 1.5 million pounds last year in Britain's 4,000 farm shops and another 120 million pounds in farmers' markets. Around a third of people have used a farmers' market or food shop in the last 12 months. Demand is so high in many areas of the country, that it is now out pacing supply.
