This is one of many Derbyshire Villages by car videos I have made.

The music is Pacific Wind by Ryan Farish which I think works very well with this footage.

  • @mybeautifulearth Music is in the description.

  • Brilliant! I used to go pub crawling around this area 30 years ago. Left the UK 14 years ago and it brought back some good memories. Thanks.

  • Glad you liked my video, Do check out my many others around Derbyshire. Subscribe so you never miss any new ones.

  • Sweet video, that area looks really cool. I just felt like you were going to plow head-on into most of the oncoming cars, as you're driving on what would seem the wrong side of the road-hehe.

  • Cheers, Yes it feels like you are on a roller coaster as YOU are not in control, does not help that you drive on the wrong side of the road too.

  • Description lists all the roads, see 3:09

  • I think it is on the north end of town going toward Belper. There is a Moorside Lane today. Can you tell me if you drove on it?

  • Not sure where Holbrook Moor is, I have just added a map link in my description, see if that helps.

  • I live in the United States and visited Holbrook in the summer of 2007. Since that visit I have found out our family lived in Holbrook Moor. Is that area covered in your Holbrook video and if so what start and stop numbers do I look at?
