225,074 ha? What's ha? -- Zoe

Hectares, I think. Renata 23:19 Jan 3, 2003 (UTC)

Certainly not clear, at least to this unknowledgeable American. -- Zoe

One hectare is 2.471 acres, one acre is 0.405 hectares.Renata 23:33 Jan 3, 2003 (UTC)

I know what a hectare is, but it isn't clear that a ha is a hectare. -- Zoe

See Hectare for the symbol. I've linked to the OofM page -- Tarquin 10:10 Jan 4, 2003 (UTC)

In the hope that some natives of Derbyshire watch this page, would any of you know (or be able to check) whether William Jauderell is indeed buried underneath the Taxal Church, or if it is only his son Roger whose grave is marked by a 5' plaque on the sanctuary floor?

[edit] POV?

"...some of England's most attractive scenery." Sounds a little biased to me. Jfingers88 19:53, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd agree to nix or reword it Sherurcij ^{(talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject)} 20:07, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't think this is POV - a large part of the county is within a National Park (so must have very attractive scenery). The Peak District area of the county is also highly popular with tourists who visit the area for it's attractive scenery. Paul the Archivist 16:47, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bordering counties

I noticed that Warwickshire was shown on the list of bordering counties. I have removed Warwickshire, because there is not actually a border between it and Derbyshire. There is a gap of a few miles. Ted Ted 17:58, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
