The local landmark: The Derwent Valley Mills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site often called the birthplace of the factory system, run north from Derby towards Matlock.
Students: The University of Derby's main Kedleston Road campus sits on the city's north side, with student accommodation spread through the centre.
On the ground: Redbrick terraces across Derby and the old mill towns, with steep lanes and stone cottages on the Peak District fringe around Matlock. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Students and engineering graduates make up much of the traffic, with London leavers drawn to Belper and the Peak District edge.
While you wait for the van: Rolls-Royce has built aero engines in Derby since 1908, and Burton upon Trent's well water made it the brewing capital of Britain.
