Better without the flags!

Winding route through the valley past old mills which are now an industrial park. The road has speed bumps through the mill complex

Beautiful place

Rowthorne is a picturesque Derbyshire village on the edge of the Hardwick Estate. It's agricultural, with a couple of large farms and a handful of millstone coloured houses and cottages. The Rowthorne Trail starts just south of the village, a nice walk through the local nature reserve and along a disused railway line.

Agriculture. The last remaining open field system in the UK.

The church is dedicated to Saint Mary, the mother of Jesus and to the Roman Saint Laurence who tradition says was martyred by being roasted alive on a gridiron. The church is a Grade II listed building. Although it was gutted by fire in 1897, rebuilt in 1898 and damaged again by fire in 1960, many important features were preserved including Saxon artifacts, the 12th century Norman Tower, 17th century Crypt and Cavendish Chapel (with 18th and 19th century additions), and Victorian developments including the fine ‘Christ the King’ east window, dedicated to the memory of Lady Augusta Cavendish-Bentinck, the last Baroness of Bolsover.
