Places to visit in Belper: Belper River Gardens
This is a small video that I have done of Belper River Gardens using my DJI Mavic Air ( It was taken in March/April 2018.
Belper River Gardens has been available to the local residents and tourists for over 100 years and there is plenty to do. From hiring a rowing boat to float down the river Derwent or let the kids have a run around on the park, on some days you can even listen to music from the bandstand.
Belper Tea Rooms is also going to come back from the dead, with a small group of people wanting to rebuild the old Swiss Tearooms. For more information on the Belper Tea Rooms or to support the rebuild by purchasing a brick, please visit:

Belper North Mill, also known as Strutt's North Mill in Belper, is one of the Derwent Valley Mills, given UNESCO World Heritage Status in 2001.
The mill is sited in Belper, a town in Derbyshire, England, roughly halfway between Derby and Matlock.
The original North Mill, completed in 1786 by Jedediah Strutt, was destroyed by fire in 1803. Its replacement was built in 1804 by his son, William Strutt, on the foundations of the old mill and is one of the oldest surviving examples of an iron-framed 'fire-proof' building in the world.[1]
In 2015 a report by Amber Valley Borough Council said the North Mill (and the Grade II listed East Mill) were in need of repair as they had suffered significant damage, and the council was said to be considering a compulsory purchase order

Belper is a town and civil parish in the local government district of Amber Valley in Derbyshire, England, located about 7 miles north of Derby on the River Derwent. As well as Belper itself, the parish also includes the village of Milford and the hamlets of Bargate, Blackbrook and Makeney.
Belper expanded during the early Industrial Revolution to become one of the first mill towns with the establishment of several textile mills; as such, it forms part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
Belper's economy was traditionally reliant on manufacturing industry and numerous goods were made in the town. Cotton spinning and textile production were major employers virtually for much of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The large East Mill and the smaller North Mill are now all that remain of the industry and are preserved as part of the Derwent Valley Mills world heritage site.
The A6 is the major through-road of the town of Belper and runs parallel to the River Derwent to the west. Belper railway station is situated on the Midland Main Line. Regular trains between Derby and Matlock on the Derwent Valley Line are almost the only services to stop there.
The construction of the North Midland Railway in 1840 brought further prosperity. Belper was the first place in the UK to get gas lighting, at a works erected by the Strutts at Milford. Demand was such that in 1850, the Belper Gas and Coke Company was formed, with a works in the present Goods Road. Electricity followed in 1922 from the Derby and Nottingham Electrical Power Company's works at Spondon.
