Surrounded by wooded hills and cliffs, the village of Cromford is set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, just one mile from the vibrant spa town of Matlock Bath and three miles from Matlock itself. Often referred to as the cradle of the Industrial Revolution, Cromford is strongly associated with the cotton trader, Sir Richard Arkwright. The settlement has not disregarded its industrial past, and today, visitors can enjoy Arkwright's Cromford Mill - a world heritage site – as well as a wide range of pubs and shops. Nearby the Peak District Mining Museum also serves as a reminder of the county’s history whilst Chatsworth House offers visitors a chance to glimpse the other end of the spectrum for eighteenth and nineteenth century life.
