About

Cromford & Matlock Bath ward lies at the northern end of the Derbyshire Dales, centred on the valley of the River Derwent. The area is historically significant as a cradle of the Industrial Revolution, with Cromford Mill recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The landscape is defined by steep wooded hillsides and the river corridor, with settlements tightly clustered along the main road and waterway. This geography has shaped its development from a major industrial centre to a focus for heritage and tourism.

Matlock Bath, within the ward, presents a distinctive Victorian spa town character, developed after the discovery of thermal springs. Its long, linear promenade is lined with traditional shops, cafes, and attractions like the Heights of Abraham hilltop park. The unique atmosphere is accentuated by the illuminated Matlock Bath Venetian Nights events held on weekends in autumn. The ward's economy balances this tourism with the preservation of its extensive industrial archaeology.
