Speed, skill, and excitement at Derbyshire's karting centers.

Derbyshire is famous for its driving roads—the Snake Pass and Cat and Fiddle are legendary—but when it comes to karting, the county is surprisingly quiet. Currently, there are no permanent go-kart tracks located within the Derbyshire county borders.

However, for residents of Derby, Chesterfield, and the Peak District, the racing is closer than you think. Because Derby is located centrally in the Midlands, some of the UK's best circuits are just a short drive across the county lines. If you are in Derby (South), your best option is Midland Karting in Lichfield (Staffordshire) or Stretton Circuit in Leicestershire. Both are outdoor tarmac tracks reachable in under 30 minutes. If you are in Chesterfield or the High Peak (North), you are ideally placed to visit Parkwood Karting in Sheffield (South Yorkshire) or the indoor tracks around Mansfield. While you can't race in Derbyshire, you are surrounded by excellent options in every direction.
