There should be a Riviera, why don't we as a city showcase the river and world heritage site.
Not the most pleasant place to spend time with fearless seagulls and pigeons making a mess as people insist on giving them bread, often on the footpath attracting a huge flock. Too many smokers, teens with facemasks on E-scooters and large groups of food delivery types, hassling teen girls. One to avoid, particularly at night as it's intimidating, boarding on dangerous.
This is a pretty and peacefull space by the river and weir.
Nice place to hangout in Derby city centre
Public gardens on the banks of the River Derwent in the heart of the city centre....it should be superb.... unfortunately it isn't. Whilst it's nice enough during the day, it has a different atmosphere at night, it's pretty grim to be honest. Recently re-developed.... and shortly thereafter vandalized, with what should have been Derby's shining light, the Riverlights development, unfortunately built at a 90° angle to the river so pretty much useless. Whilst there's some nice grassy areas and lots of water birds to feed it's also incredibly dirty and slightly threatening at night. By all means have a walk around it, feed the birds, and enjoy your lunch during the day.... just avoid it at night.
Beautiful location for evening walk and lot of places for sitting.
Beautiful views walk and picnic area
Very nice to visit when quiet.
