Denby Pottery
If you're out and about in the heart of Derbyshire anytime then you might be interested in visiting the Denby Pottery Visitor Centre. The Denby Pottery is situated just 15 miles from Chatsworth, is open most days and with free car parking and entrance to the centre free there's no reason not to stop by! There is a small selection of shops around an open courtyard including the popular Denby Factory shop and at the end of the courtyard is the famous Denby Pottery. You are able to watch free demonstrations and the centre also offers fully guided tours of the pottery.
Here are a few photographs from when we visited:
The pottery entrance seen from the main road as you drive by and the entrance to the pottery from the courtyard - with the striking roof shape.

The Denby Visitor Centre courtyard around which sit the shops of which one houses a small but very interesting selection of older pieces of Denby Pottery.
With a history stretching back to c1806 Denby Pottery is one of the few potteries still producing high quality domestic wares and nice decorative pottery today.
