Milford Mills 
Milford's historical importance is reflected by its UNESCO World Heritage status. Dating back to 1780, Milford Mills is a former cotton mill which housed some of the world's first mechanised industrial spinning factories. This unique redevelopment project will see the retention of numerous historic features from the former cotton mill, including the Mill Lade that now feeds a hydroelectric power plant downstream, the wheel pit and tail race that historically connected the mill to the River Derwent, along with the repair of all original stone boundary walls.

Milford's popular local amenities include the Elephant & Peacock bar and restaurant, the Palfrey specialising in cocktails and Sunday roasts, the traditional King William pub, Strutt Arms Hotel, an award-winning pre-school and primary school, places of worship, a play area, and an array of scenic countryside walks and cycle ways.

The neighbouring village of Makeney is home to the historic Makeney Hall Hotel and the Holly Bush Inn, which was frequented by highwayman Dick Turpin during the 18th Century. Boasting open fires, homecooked food and real ales, it is the Amber Valley CAMRA Pub of the Year.
