Location
This accommodation is located in 'greenbelt' countryside just off the A52, in-between Nottingham and Derby. The village of Risley is approximately 8 miles east of Derby, and 9 miles west of Nottingham.
Leicester is approximately 25 miles away and Risley's proximity to the motorway [only 1 mile from junction 25 of the M1] makes Braeside an ideal place to stay for visits to the surrounding cities or countryside.
The borders of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire meet nearby.
Leisure
Although it is very close to motorways and nearby cities, Risley benefits from a countryside location and a number of local footpaths can be used to explore the area.
There are many tourist attractions slightly further afield, including Chatsworth House and Dovedale, known as 'The Gateway to the Peak District'.
Nottingham, Derby and Leicester all have popular tourist attractions, including Nottingham's Robin Hood Experience, Derby's Cathedral, and Leicester's National Space Centre.
