Cromford - Peak District Villages
presents Cromford. The village of Cromford is built snugly amongst fine rock scenery and sits astride the main A6 Derby road at the southern end of Matlock Dale deep in the Derwent Valley.
The village owes its historical significance entirely to the River Derwent, for it takes its name from a bend in the river where the water was shallow enough to be forded by the old Derby to Chesterfield road, the original old English `Crune-ford` meaning `crooked-ford`. Two thousand years ago the Romans knew the crossing and shipped pigs of lead mined in the local hills down-river to the Trent from here.
Cromford is also known as the `cradle` or `birthplace` of the Industrial Revolution for this was where Richard Arkwright (1732-1792), perhaps Britain's first ever `industrial tycoon` and known as `The Father of the Factory System` chose to build the world's first water-powered cotton mill in 1771.
The character of the village was completely transformed in the early years of the 19th century when Scarthin Nick was blasted through with dynamite to make way for what later became the A6, thus annexing the Arkwright industrial mill complex on the east side of the main Derby road and the Market Place and village at the bottom of the hill which climbs steeply westward towards Wirksworth, on the other.

Cromford Canal & High Peak Junction
A walk along the high peak trail's Cromford Canal in the Derbyshire countryside, England. Exploring the waterway, we found ducklings, and other wildlife. A train carriage from the old railway that used to be here, and a canal boat.
The walk lasted for about 1.5 hours, and was the perfect Sunday afternoon walk.
This video was filmed using the GoPro Hero.

A Visit to the Aqueduct Cottage on Cromford Canal, Derbyshire
We went a walk along the Cromford Canal to take a look at the Aqueduct Cottage. The cottage is an old derelict lock keeper's cottage. The Derbyshire Wildlife Trust has obtained a grant to have it restored. Someone has painted some nice pictures on the boarded up windows. We wanted to take a look at it before they started work on it.
Spotted a few Little Grebes (or Dabchicks) diving. It was difficult to take any photos of them as they are so quick.
Called in at the Canal shop to get my chocolate fix!
A nice level walk for anyone with mobility issues. Just the way I like it!
