Oxhay Wood is a forest in Derbyshire. Oxhay Wood is situated nearby to the village Crich Carr and the hamlet Wakebridge. Duke's quarries were a large network of 19th century stone quarries with tracks leading down to the Cromford Canal and railway.

At the heart of the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site, the town of Belper has a fascinating industrial history. Hot on the heels of Cromford to the north, it was home to some of the world's first water-powered cotton spinning mills, built by Jedediah Strutt. In 1803, Strutt's North Mill was rebuilt using the world's first fireproof iron frame. This was to become the blueprint for modern skyscrapers. The town is beautifully situated on the River Derwent and is an important stop on the Derwent Valley Heritage Way. There are plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as good accommodation options in the town.

Wyver Lane Nature Reserve is a superb spot for an amble, particularly for wildlife lovers. It comprises two pools surrounded by reed beds and water meadows. It's an important wetland site and home to Canada geese, tufted ducks, little grebes, while large numbers of gulls visit in winter. The reserve is also home to otters, a glorious sight.

A good spot for bird watching.

Shining Cliff Wood is an ancient woodland that was once a part of the Duffied Frith royal hunting forest. Today it is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Hikers can enjoy the circular waymarked trail that visits a yew tree, named Betty Kenny Tree, that some say is 2,000 years old. The cliff after which the wood is named is a low gritstone rockface. A hostel that was once owned by the Youth Hostels Association but is now a privately owned residential centre resides beneath the rockface.
