The Duck Pond
 

Food shopping can be a real pleasure at Duck Pond View, as we have so many markets.
Click here for details.

The usual supermarkets are all available within a ten to twenty minute drive, and there are also a number of specialist food shops in the area such as Fresh Basil in Belper. Why not have your food delivered - see below.

Local villages also have their own shops with some very good bakers and butchers to be found. Click Here to see what (local) shopping Duffield has to offer!

There are no shops in reasonable walking distance, so all times below are for car journeys. (Bikers and cyclists can make their own decisions!)

Eight til Late
There is a garage which sells bread, milk, potatoes, crisps, pop etc. etc. etc at Cowers Lane - about 5 minutes.
There is also a small shop in Duffield - about 5 minutes.

Supermarkets

If you prefer your food shopping courtesy of messrs Sainsbury, Tesco, Safeway or the like, the nearest supermarket is Morrisons in Belper about 10 minutes away.

There are two large Sainsbury's in Derby, each about 20 minutes away.

Our nearest shops are in Duffield, about 3 miles by road, or 2 by footpath. Just before you get to Duffield there is a Londis (8-till-late), and once there, there is a small Co-op, a newsagent, 2 deli's, a post office, 2 banks, a chemist, hairdressers for both sexes, and an excellent coffee shop/cafe "Godfreys" which does a wonderful cooked breakfast!
Our nearest town is Belper, which has all the things you would expect from a small town - Morrisons, Woolworths, banks, cash machines, florists, butchers, bakers (no candlestick makers though as far as I know), a Thorntons Chocolates branch, and a lovely little cinema - the Ritz - which is well worth a look.

Ashbourne (about 15 minutes) has a small Sainsbury's, a Somerfields, and a Co-op. There are also good bread shop and a good butcher.

Wirksworth, (about 10 minutes) has a mini-supermarket, an excellent bread shop, and a good butcher.

Happy buying your groceries online? All these supermarkets deliver here and we are happy to be here to receive them on a Saturday morning.
