Spend the day at the Duke of Devonshire's great house in the Derwent valley, with its painted halls, cascade, fountains and miles of parkland.
Why it's a good date: A proper day out, and the park is free to walk if you'd rather not buy tickets. Dogs on leads are welcome in the garden and park, though not in the house. In the run-up to Christmas the house is dressed up for the season, so book early.
