Cromford is a small village with a lot of historical interest, being the site of the first successful water-powered cotton mill in the country. The village grew up around the mill, the majority of the houses being built by the mill owner Richard Arkwright (now credited as a father of the modern industry). Today the village is part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site and offers good local amenities with easy access to the nearby towns of Wirksworth (1.8 miles), Matlock (2.6 miles), and Belper (7.8 miles). The village is within commuting distance of Derby and Nottingham, and has easy access to the M1 Motorway via the A38 trunk road. There is a branch line train station with a regular service to Derby and Nottingham.
