About

Ambergate, Heage & Idridgehay sit in Amber Valley in Derbyshire, clustered along the Derwent corridor. Ambergate stands at the confluence of the River Amber and the River Derwent and is served by Ambergate station on the Derwent Valley Line between Matlock and Derby. The village grew up around 19th‑century transport links: the railway and nearby roads shaped mills, workshops and terraced stone housing beside the river. River channels, old wharves and railway earthworks remain part of the local pattern of fields and lanes.

Heage occupies a ridge above the valley, where the restored six‑sailed Heage Windmill marks the skyline and opens for events. Idridgehay is a small settlement of farms and stone cottages set along lanes and streams, with a network of public footpaths and bridleways that link into the Derwent valley. Parish churches, a village hall and scattered businesses support the communities; land use is a mix of grazing, arable plots and pockets of woodland, with field boundaries and old works reflecting the area’s industrial past.
