The area around Cromford and Matlock Bath sits in the steep, wooded valley of the River Derwent in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England. It combines the industrial legacy of Cromford, where Richard Arkwright’s pioneering mills form part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, with the Victorian riverside resort character of Matlock Bath, noted for its cliffs, the cable car to the Heights of Abraham and the dramatic rock of High Tor.
The local economy leans heavily on heritage and tourism alongside small independent businesses and rural services: canal and riverside walks trace parts of the old Cromford Canal, family attractions such as Gulliver's Kingdom draw visitors, and a small resident community works to balance conservation of historic sites with the seasonal pressure of visitors.
