Lovely place to stop and look for fish. The Square and Compass provides a great place to refresh with a basic pub food menu (though it is Robinson beer, which is not a favourite of mine). They also have a small campsite just next door. Not a bad place for a night!

This deligtful arched bridge is one of the oldest across the historic River Derwent. It lends its name to the nearby village, where you'll find the Three Stags Heads, which serves good food.

A grade II* listed stone bridge spans the river and links the village with Darley Dale.

The bridge dates back to the 15th century and features two pointed arches, and three semi-circular arches.

Close to the bridge, the road winds between terraced stone houses in the oldest part of the village.
