Crich Tramway Village is an absolute delight for all ages! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the warmest and most helpful staff and volunteers who clearly love what they do. Their passion and friendliness truly made the day extra special. The whole experience is beautifully nostalgic, like stepping back in time. Riding the vintage trams through the scenic countryside is both relaxing and fascinating. The recreated period street, old-style sweet shops, exhibitions, and woodland walk make it a full day out, rain or shine! One of the best surprises? Free parking and the fact that a full-price ticket gives you unlimited return visits for a whole year! That’s incredible value for money — we’ll definitely be coming back again (and again)! Whether you’re into history, transport, or just looking for a fun and peaceful family day out, Crich Tramway Village is a must-visit. Highly recommended! THERE IS A SOFT PLAY AREA AND OUTDOOR PLAY AREA FOR CHILDREN !! NO ONE WILL FEEL BOARD HERE

Incredibly beautiful walk. This ( April - May ) is our favourite time with spring flowers coming out, so much wildlife around every bend. At this time, the canal banks have only reached ankle high so you can see into the mostly clear water. Between Whatstanwell and Ambergate is the most peaceful once you've aclimatized to the sound of the traffic passing on the nearby A6. Leawood Pump house is well worth a visit, especially on an open day with steam up and running. With each stroke pumping 4 tons (800 gallons) of water, from the River Derwent up into the canal.

Absolutely lovely 6 sail, fully restored working windmill! Brilliantly run by enthusiastic, and very lovely, volunteers. Well worth a visit - whether you were a Windy Miller fan, or not! Fascinating.

A beautiful small garden , that's a ten minute walk from the town centre for the brisk walker . This garden is a quiet haven and is a great place for adults and children alike , it has many features that are quirky and eclectic and I'm sure that children would enjoy the experience as it would inspire there imagination with it's mix of little statues and treasures that have been donated by the local community and the grounds caretakers , who truly have created a little bit of magic here in belper . The garden has many tributes to loved ones who have sadly passed , and some families have donated a feature of remembrance , which may i add are not solemn but often light-hearted and all add to the magical atmosphere of this beautiful place . The garden is free to enter and it's upkeep is maintained by a local caretaker and a small team of helpers who work unpaid , so if you have a donation to it's upkeep it would be greatly appreciated to help maintain the project . The garden has quite a historical past and it's origins hail way back to the industrial revolution years as it was a former allotment to the strutt family residence and also has links to a Roman past , but now it's purpose is a community park . Please may I add that although there are plenty of bench style seats available for a picnic or a peaceful rest here , the grounds may be a bit of a challenge for the less mobile , but the front gate is wheelchair friendly so it's easier , as the side entrance would be a struggle with it's steps so best avoided , the grounds are partially paved so you should be ok with your mobility chair or pram if you have children and all the garden's features can be seen from it's pathway , so I'm sure should you visit you will enjoy it's peaceful and relaxing magical charm , not the biggest of gardens , but always a surprise around every corner that has been created with the biggest of hearts from the local community . WELL WORTH A VISIT !! When in the belper area .

Excellent quality food, freshly prepared & the flavours are delicious. Exceptional service and staff, who want you to have a good time, very knowledgeable about the menu , allergies etc. Portion sizes were good value for money. There are some stairs inside & I'm unsure if they have a area for people with disabilities, a phone call would be best. A piece of Italy in Belper, nice rustic interior.

Just had a wonderful Sunday lunch here, huge amount of meat with all the trimmings and bowls of fresh veggies. The desserts were lovely and good portion sizes too. Staff were friendly and attentive, can't fault them at all, will definitely return. Very reasonably priced too.

Me and my family went tonight and let me tell you that the atmosphere was amazing, with the lights dimmed just right. The waiters were welcoming and really friendly . The food was excellent, arrived quickly, and each course was perfectly timed. The strawberry mocktail was sweet and delicious. The food is amazing, the service is outstanding, and the atmosphere was absolutely perfect. They really go out of their way to make customers feel welcome. The owner also went out of his way to make sure that we were Happy and content which was really appreciated by us all and also picked the starters for us as we were a bit indecisive lol (by the way he has really good taste as the starters were out of this world!!). Would definitely recommend and for sure coming back 🫶🏼

Kedleston Hall is a beautiful location for walking and enjoying some time with nature. I'd thoroughly recommend getting there early to beat the crowds as on a sunny day, it does get very busy. There is good car parking and excellent facilities at the entrance. Most of the walks are clearly marked, with loads of spots to stop and sit down to take a load off, or enjoy the grounds. Excellent location for the dogs, lots of space to sniff and run around, though it is leads on throughout the site.

Wasn't sure what to make of this place as we arrived. Google took us the wrong way so it took a few minutes to find it. The entrance that we went on didn't look as much and I was thinking about turning back, but then the sun came out and thought meh let's go what's the worst that can happen. My dear Lord I am so glad I didn't turn back as this place is just majestic. I love the woodland, it is not a thick one and you can venture in between the trees. Lots of little gems if you do where people have made little huts. There's a stream at the bottom which is not deep so your doggies can dip their paws in there. As you walk to the top you'll see a field with some exercise tables (for all of you keen gym goers) 🥰 and as you turn around there are some spectacular views. My doggies loved this place. Think they were zooming for the whole three hours we were there. There are no horse riders here or livestock that we could see and you can get away with just walking boots as it wasn't that muddy and I doubt it ever gets too muddy as it is on a heel. There are also a few bins here and there, another added bonus. Must see if you're in the area 🥰

Excellent service and quality frames. We have used Hall of Frames for all our precious pictures, today we picked up two representing a lifetime trip. The pictures in the frames are just outstanding. So pleased, thank you 🤩

Beautiful, relaxing, clean with benches near the memorial, and bins so you can leave the place tidy or take your rubbish away. Named are the soldiers who lost their lives from belper in ww2. An array of flowers and flower beds. A must visit if in belper

Shopping Centre in one of the historical Mills in Belper, Derbyshire. Accessibility - there is a lift in one corner of the Mill, a small car park in front. A whole range of stores and eateries including: # clothes # shoes # bedding # kitchenware etc. Car Park - small one to the front with parking for disabled. Larger retail Car Parks near by. Toilets - inside the Centre.

A stunning Art Gallery in the charming quaint town of Belper. It’s worth a wander round as there are a lot of local artists and stunning pictures. The couple who run it are very welcoming and knowledgeable 👩‍🎨

We just popped in the Green House in Belper for a quick drink and a bite to eat. We sat outside and has some plates to share, which were good value and very pleasant. The pub has a wide selection of beer, wine and spirits and the staff were very professional and friendly. Would certainly recommend it.

Just popped into Nicks Fish and chips whilst in the belper area & yet again, they didn’t disappoint. You can’t go wrong with the lunch time special deal they have on I think it’s around £2.40 for this portion size with a sausage & a choice of sauce. The curry sauce is always my favourite as it’s a little different than normal chip shop curry sauce which I think gives it an edge over other chip shops. All in all for the price and quality you can’t go wrong.

On my visit into the town of Belper I called into this great little cafe, it's very comfortable and has a very pleasant atmosphere, it's a great place to relax and unwind... There's also an upstairs dining area... I just had a coffee and a small breakfast which was delicious ... The menu has a great choice of dishes to choose from and is very reasonably priced ... If you find yourself in Belper which is a small Derbyshire town and you're wanting to spend a day here, then popping into the Bookcafe even if just for a cake and a coffee would be a great way to spend a very pleasant hour of your time ... I'm definitely calling in again on my next trip to Belper and I'm sure so will you when you visit this wonderful little cafe...

Great micropub tucked away in the corner of Belper market place. Located in an old, interesting building with some seating outside, and fairly plain decor/seating inside. This is an absolute gem with a good selection of beers poured direct from the keg/barrel which are on view behind the bar. The beer is very well kept, and snacks are available. I tried the cheese and onion sandwich which was wonderful and complemented the beer. Friendly locals. Will definitely visit again.
