Self-catering holiday cottages in Cromford

If you like to learn about British history then come on holiday to one of the former centres of the Industrial Revolution, Cromford in the Peak District. Stay at one of our self-catering holiday cottages in Cromford to discover the wonders of this historic village, that makes up part of a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Surrounded by some glorious scenery, Cromford will be forever associated with Sir Richard Arkwright and as the cradle of the Industrial Revolution. Arkwright built the world's first water-powered cotton mills here and pioneered the factory system. Cromford developed around the mills as a purpose-built industrial community. Mason Mills alongside the River Derwent through the limestone cutting of Scarthin Nick are being restored to their former glory by the Arkwright Society. Arkwright also built the distinctive Willersley Castle on the riverbank. Fashioned in the Gothic style it’s a great place for a photo opportunity. Take a walk along the Cromford Canal which was linked to the Cromford and High Peak Railway just to the south of the village, also see the ruins of an ancient chapel and a curious old fishing pavilion close to Cromford’s 15th-century bridge.
