About

Darley Abbey sits along the River Derwent north of Derby city centre. The area is defined by its historic industrial past, centred on the former cotton mill complex. These Georgian and Victorian buildings now contain apartments and offices, giving the area a distinct architectural character.

The river and its weirs are a constant presence, with pathways following the water through Darley Park. The park's open meadows and mature trees provide a large green space directly adjacent to the residential streets and converted mill buildings.
