we live in Sheffield and although our fair city is hilly to say the least a few years ago large areas of Sheffield were left under water when the river Don burst it's banks, thankfully we live at the top of one the city's largest hill's so were unaffected but several family members who live close to the river were , in fact my local pub is right on the bank side of the river and was so badly flooded it was 2 years before it was fit to re-open.
having seen the devastation flooding causes first hand , like you my thoughts are with those down south that have suffered a life changing catastrophe that most of us can only imagine and will never, hopefully, experience.
as for clumber park, got to agree lovely place to spend a few days, we've stayed on the caravan club site there a few times now and have enjoyed every minute, specially the Friday night visit of the fish and chip shop van, I can recommend the hospitality of the Park inn ( used to be the social club) in Hardwick village too
