SITUATION



The Mount can be found just 3 miles north of the city of Derby in the sought after and attractive village of Quarndon. Facilities in the village include a school, cricket club, public house, church and village hall. Quarndon was once known as a spa village due to The Chelybeate Well which is located just a few yard from The Mount. It was said to produce iron impregnating spring water and was even visited by Robinson Crusoe author Daniel Defoe in 1727 during his grand tour of Great Britain. The water ceased to flow in 1817 due to an earth termor.



The village is well placed for the major road networks around Derby with the M1, A50, A6 and A38 all within easy reach. Trains from Derby reach London St Pancras in approximately 90 minutes. Attractions in this area include the Peak District, Britain's first National Park which offers a huge amount of activities such as walking, climbing, riding and cycling. Kedleston Hall is a short distance away and there are golf courses at Duffield, Kedleston and Allestree.
