Derby Cathedral

   19 Comments on Derby Cathedral

If all Derby’s shops, and riverside musings aren’t enough for you, then a visit to Derby Cathedral might just add a little extra something to your wanderings. Here’s a bit of a montage of pictures, but I’m sure you’ll agree that the photos never really compare to being physically present in a building like this and feeling it’s size and grandeur!

After a hearty breakfast, a visit to the Cathedral didn’t disappoint, if mobility is strained then it’s a bit of an uphill walk in the Cathedral Quarter region of the city centre, with lots of pubs and restaurants lining the way.

Fuel for the day!
If you like, you can climb the cathedral stairs to the top of the church tower and enjoy the views!

Wishing you all safe and happy wanderings, wherever you are💫😊

Have a good week ahead 🔆

  1. kagould17 – Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement. I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure. I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

  2. Platypus Man – "Platypus" is a red herring: I'm English, although my blogging career began in my record of a 2016 road trip to Tasmania. Other blogs followed covering road trips in Newfoundland (2017), the Yellowstone area of the USA (2018) and New Zealand (2019). My current project is "Now I'm 64" , a weekly blog covering UK travel and wildlife, along with bits of history, social commentary and moans about the injustice of aging. I can guarantee a few laughs, and also the occasional rant. Some of it's even quite well written!

    Derby is my local cathedral. I’ve never been particularly impressed by it, but your photos have persuaded me to think again!
