About

Belper Town sits in the Amber Valley, centred around the River Derwent. The area's layout and historical significance are deeply tied to the valley's industrial past, with the river providing the original power source. This legacy is evident in the local architecture and the overall structure of the community, which developed around the waterway and the surrounding hillsides.

A key feature is the series of historic mill buildings, including the North Mill, which form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town's streets and residential areas extend from this core, with local commerce and services concentrated in the centre. The landscape is characterised by the river corridor and the rising ground of the valley sides, which define the area's boundaries.
