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.
