Crooked Spire

You'll spot it before you've even found a parking spot: that wonky spire twisting into the sky like someone's idea of a joke played on medieval architects. Walk up Church Way and you're immediately transported—the cobbled streets around this Gothic church feel properly removed from the market town bustle below. The 228-foot spire has been doing its thing for nearly 700 years, warped by the lead covering and green oak timber inside. Whether you're into architectural oddities, want cracking views across the Derbyshire countryside from up here, or just fancy some genuinely atmospheric spot for photos that don't look like everyone else's, it's worth the wander.
