Situated in a lush, green valley on the edge of the beautiful
Peak
District National Park, Cromford is a unique village with an
intriguing past and a very special claim to fame. Holidays in
Cromford are perfect for curious minds and itchy-footed explorers
alike.
The village is well known for being the site of the world's
first successfully water-powered cotton mill, created by industrial
entrepreneur, Sir Richard Arkwright. Seen by many as the origin of
the factory system, Cromford Mills is now a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, and visitors can enjoy an interactive CGI heritage
experience, browse for treasures and treats at the Mills' many
independent shops, or wander the leafy walking trails to admire the
splendour of neighbouring Willersley Castle. For a more laid back
pace, take a narrowboat trip along the tranquil Cromford Canal,
perfect for a relaxed afternoon jaunt. If you're looking for
outdoor adventure, the Peak District, with its heather-clad
moorlands, rolling dales, and iconic stony ridges, is just a
stone's throw away.
