Priory Fields, Church Gresley

The village itself is bustling with life, while nearby Swadlincote has many surprises in store, including its own Ski Centre. Head out into the National Forest around the development and you’ll enjoy endless woodland walks, cycle trails and outdoor action to blow away the cobwebs from work.

Yet despite its idyllic location, Priory Fields remains within easy commuting distance of a range of major towns and cities.

If you love the great outdoors, there is so much to choose from. The National Forest provides over 200 square miles of woodland, while Conkers, at the heart of it, offers a great place for the whole family, with interactive exhibits, woodland sculptures, an amphitheatre, lakeside trains, an assault course and lots more. Moira Furnace, a dramatic 19th Century blast furnace, also offers a picturesque environment in which to unwind.

There are lots of walking routes to choose from; amongst ancient parklands, alongside canals and rivers and in woodlands, and there's so much to explore. If you'd rather indulge in something a little more exhilarating, Swadlincote Ski & Snowboard Centre is just moments away too, where you can ski, snowboard and toboggan all year round.

Steeped in history, with castles and stately homes punctuating the nearby landscape, the hills and valleys of this beautiful area are a sight to behold. Calke Abbey, the second largest country house in Derbyshire after Chatsworth, is a "must see" and is the ideal scene for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
