About

Matlock South, Cromford and Winster form a distinct area within the Derbyshire Dales, characterised by its blend of historic industrial heritage and rural village life. The landscape is defined by the steep, wooded valley of the River Derwent, with settlements clinging to its sides. Cromford is notable as the birthplace of the modern factory system, centred on Sir Richard Arkwright's 18th-century cotton mills, whose substantial stone buildings still dominate the village core. The area's development was fundamentally shaped by this pioneering industry.

The villages are connected by winding lanes that follow the contours of the land, leading to agricultural plateaus above the valleys. Winster presents a classic linear village plan with its historic market hall, reflecting a pastoral economy. The surrounding area is a network of footpaths, including those of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, linking the industrial archaeology with the open limestone countryside. Local commerce revolves around community-focused shops and public houses serving both residents and visitors exploring this historically significant terrain.
