At Darcy House, our beautiful private gardens provide an unrivalled setting with stunning views across the wooded valley and green fields, stretching out towards the River Derwent, Riber Castle, and even the passing Peak Rail steam trains. Our gardens are designed to be both scenic and functional, combining picturesque views with well-planned amenities including patios, accessible paths, raised flowerbeds and comfortable seating throughout. Whether residents wish to stroll safely, relax in the sunshine, or enjoy the company of loved ones, every corner of our grounds has been created to bring independence and connection with nature.
During the warmer months, many of our residents delight in al fresco dining or taking afternoon tea on the patios, with the backdrop of rolling hills and historic landmarks making each moment feel special. The gardens are large enough to welcome entertainers, host arts and craft sessions, and bring much-loved in-house events into the fresh air, while smaller gatherings are equally supported with private seating areas and shaded spots for rest.
