This bridge at the edge of Codnor Park reservoir on the Cromford Canal would once have been over the Pinxton arm of the canal. It was left high and dry after the reservoir flood relief scheme was put in, in the 1980s. The canal opened in 1794.

All Saints Church was built to provide for the spiritual and social needs of the people of Ripley during the Industrial Revolution, and was dedicated in July 1821. At the time it was a ‘Chapel of Ease’ in the parish of Pentrich, with St Matthew’s Pentrich as the main parish church. Some families in Ripley still maintain a connection with St Matthews as their church. Ripley was created a separate parish in 1855, and the tower with clock and 5 bells was built in 1861.

Built in 1844. Several of my ancestors can be found in the grave yard.

A memorial garden for John Flamsteed, opposite St Mary the Virgin's Church, which features the stellarsphere which shows the position of the stars and planets overhead at the current time. Free car parking on site.

St John's Church dates to the 19th century and is in the Decorated style. It was built in 1871 as a chapel of ease by Stevens & Robinson for the parish of Langley Mill.

Lovely picturesque spot for a walk or ride around the reservoir. Fairly large & free car park makes an ideal place to start and explore the area.

New path created by the land owner (the road has been gated off) winds through the trees. Soup and wood chip surface ( 27/3/22) I imagine it will be a muddy quagmire in winter if better surfacing isn’t laid.

A flat walk with interesting history of Iron Works, Reservoirs, Canals and a Canal Tunnel through which the barges were propelled by legging. The area was visited again on March 1 2022 but followed a variation on this route.
