Car Rental Chesterfield

Chesterfield, located in Derbyshire, is a market town with many opportunities for shopping and sight seeing in your car rental from Thrifty Car Rental. The most well known landmark is the ‘Crooked Spire’, but you will also want to visit the Chesterfield Museum and the Chesterfield Market.

The first place to travel in your car rental is the famous ‘Crooked Spire’. Set atop the Church of Saint Mary and All Saints, it has many legends about how it got its curving shape. The most likely cause of the slant relates to the effects of the weather on the building materials. Not to be overlooked, the church dates back to the 13th century and inside you will find some historic treasures and beautiful furnishings.

Another place to learn about the church is the Chesterfield Museum. Located within walking distance of car parks to store your car rental, the museum explores the history and evolution of Chesterfield. Find out about the 18th century industries, the people who played a part in the revolution of 1688 and how the introduction of the market affected the town. Be sure to browse through the art gallery and examine the work of the local artists.

After learning about the markets origins, you might want to set aside a day to enjoy the experience of shopping in an open-air market. With around 200 stalls to poke through, you can just leave you car rental at the car park and take time to appreciate the history of the market. If you still feel like shopping, you can visit the “The Pavements” shopping centre which has entrances opposite Chesterfield Market, or Vicar Lane, which is located near the “Crooked Spire”. With a car rental from Thrifty Car Rental, you can spend as much time or as little time as you want shopping, sightseeing and enjoying your vacation.
