“We have some fantastic parks and countryside sites − but don’t just take our word for it. These awards show we provide some of the best in the country.
“Whether it’s a quiet stroll you’re after, cycling with friends or a picnic with the kids there really is something for everyone.
“Staff are constantly working to make Shipley, Elvaston and Tapton Lock even more appealing for visitors so why not make a date to visit this weekend and take a look for yourself.”
The awards, announced during national Love Parks Week, are given to parks which meet eight strict criteria including horticultural standards, cleanliness, sustainability and community involvement.
