Heanor
Discover Heanor
Independent bakeries, local florists and vintage clothing shops dot the main street in Heanor, accompanied by a small outdoor market in the town’s central square on Fridays and Saturdays. In summer, Heanor Memorial Park hosts brass bands and cinema screenings at its bandstand, and an aquatic play facility at its new splash pad. Explore the four floors of Heanor Antiques Centre year-round, or visit Shipley Country Park for walking, cycling, horse riding, angling, birdwatching and more.
