Cromford hosts unarguably the best bookshop in the world (in our opinion), and an Oasis of a station that Some Might Say is the most famous in the world. 20 mins on the local train up the Derwent Valley.

Fabulous throwback to the days of trams. Loads to see and do, whatever the weather. Even if you didn't realise that you had an interest in trams, this is a lovely day out.

Local Pubs
We have some of the finest unspoilt country pubs right on our doorstep.
Fabulous micro-pub. Just round the corner. The beers on offer depend on what they've been brewing recently, and what barrels they've swapped with other local breweries. Table service (even before lockdown). No food, but they encourage you to order from Fennels next door and bring it in!

Great walk over the hills and through the woods from Tamworth House. Lovely beers, and atmospheric. No piped music, just village chit-chat.

A very traditional English pub, off the beaten track, that's probably just the same as it was 300 years ago. Beer poured from a jug and 3 open fires when it's chilly outside. Hot food at lunchtime and the finest pork pies in the evening. A healthy 1.5 mile walk from Tamworth House.

Getting Around
Trundle up the valley from Duffield Station to Wirksworth on this privately owned and volunteer-operated railway. Watch the countryside go by on either historic diesels or steam trains. Buy a return ticket, or walk the 11 mile Ecclesbourne Valley Trail one way, and catch the train the other.

Sightseeing
Well, what can we say; this is probably the least visual of the UKs great castles. It was once one of England's largest fortifications, but was regrettably destroyed as recently as 1266 during a rebellion against the English Crown. Some of the stonework can be spotted, re-used around the village, but little else to see. But why not pay a visit, just to say that you've been there.

Wow. Chatsworth House is THE great stately home. Not just a museum, but the home the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, with vast estates, farmland and deer parks. So much to see, and marvel at, from the gigantic gravity-powered fountain, the gold-leaf covered window frames, extraordinary interiors and gardens to the real-life operation of a country estate with farms, villages and lots of deer and sheep. A must for anyone visiting Derbyshire.

The greatest of all England's historic stately homes.
Once one of England's largest castles. Sadly, a ruin for the last 400 years, but it's spirit lives on as it's stones were pillaged for re-use around the village.

An historic village, part of which is designated as a World Heritage Site, surrounded by some glorious scenery.
Cromford is forever associated with Sir Richard Arkwright as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Arkwright built the world's first water powered cotton mills here and pioneered the factory system. Now a beautiful place to visit, and home a a fascinating bookshop.

A 15 minute drive to Wirksworth is needed to reach this lovely French Bistro in one of our neighbouring villages. We like the tables down in the cellars for their lovely atmosphere.

This gem of a restaurant is one to allow yourself plenty of time in. They specialise in semi-fixed tasting menus of many courses, so go with an open mind, and be prepared to try anything. Take your own beer and wine. You can get to Belper by train in 5 mins, or bus in 10.

Country pub, 10 mins drive, or a gorgeous but strenuous 2+ mile walk across the (hilly) fields. Decent food and a cosy bar, but plenty of outdoor space too.
