Location - Cromford is a small village with significant historical interest, being the site of the first successful water-powered cotton mill in the country. Developed in the late 18th century by Sir Richard Arkwright—founder of the English Sewing Cotton Company—the village grew around the mill, with many of the houses built by Arkwright for his workers. Today, Cromford forms part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site and remains one of the best-preserved factory communities of the early Industrial Revolution.

Much of the village is designated as an Outstanding Conservation Area, with many buildings listed for their historical and architectural importance. Cromford is ideally placed for exploring the surrounding countryside, with the Peak District National Park nearby and Carsington Water—offering a range of water sports and leisure facilities—just six miles away. The A6 provides excellent road links north and south, while Cromford’s railway station offers direct services to Derby and London St Pancras.
