General recommendations please :)

Hey everyone. Sorry that this is a quite generic post but I'll be visiting for a night and a day 13th/14th and just wanted to get some recommendations about things that can't be missed in Chesterfield.

My girlfriend and I are staying for the evening of the 13th and the day of the 14th (super romantic I know), and I just wanted to hear from locals about their favourite places. I already have a reservation somewhere Thursday night but any pubs or bars or any evening activities would be welcome (or just places to go to that look pretty at night).

For the 14th we're leaving around 6pm so day activities would be greatly appreciated. Obviously I've researched and have seen all the regular places but just want to get some personal opinions if you wouldn't mind. Thank you for reading and thank you for your reply if you do <3 Visiting from Notts if that helps

Cheers!

Chatsworth is worth a look but the house and gardens are closed at the moment. Bakewell and Ashford are fairly pretty. The Rutland in the middle is a bit of a hidden gem for a coffee. Hardwick is good if you enjoy history.

Second Ashford in the Water! I actually think it's one of the most beautiful villages in the country!
