One of the cradles of the Industrial Revolution, Cromford is a scenic village with a rich history. The village will forever be associated with the pioneering endeavours of Sir Richard Arkwright, who built the world's first water powered cotton mill here.

With plenty of eateries and amenities, Cromford is a good base for hiking in the area. The Cromford Canal links the village to the High Peak Railway, both of which make for excellent walks. Meanwhile, the many delights of the Peak District are just a short drive away.
