The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

If you're camping near Dronfield and fancy a bit of religious architecture, the LDS Church here is worth a quiet look - though it won't take long. This is a working place of worship for the local Latter-day Saints community, not a tourist attraction in the traditional sense, so don't expect guided tours or visitor facilities.

The building itself is modern and functional rather than dramatic. You'll find it's somewhere between a community centre and a chapel - all clean lines and practical design, nothing like the Gothic drama of your typical English parish church. What makes it interesting is precisely that contrast: there's something oddly charming about stumbling across an American religious tradition in rural Derbyshire.

Really, this place appeals most to those curious about different faith communities, or anyone doing a broader sweep of local architecture. Kids won't find much to occupy them here, and it's certainly not a destination in its own right.

Access is free, though you should respect that it's an active worship space - check locally before dropping by, as services and events might affect visiting times. If you're staying at Poolsbrook Country Park or any of the glamping spots scattered within a few miles, it's an easy diversion on a drive around the area, but honestly, you'd do better spending that time exploring the Peak District landscape instead. Worth knowing about rather than worth planning a trip around.
