If you’re further south for any reason go to Scarthin Books in Cromford after a walk along the canal and maybe up to Black Rocks

Depends when you're going. There's the caverns (Blue John, Treakcliffe etc). Stately houses: Chatsworth, Hardwick, Haddon. Tissington. There's Crich tramway museum. North Mill at Belper gives a taste of the early industrial revolution. Matlock is nice for a mooch around. Huge biker gatherings on weekends. As much polished chrome as you can shake a stick at. Bakewell has a weekly livestock market. It's a nice place for a stroll along the river. The national stone centre is good. They do Drystone walling demonstrations and courses. Nearby is the Steeple Grange narrow guage railway. There's a few preserved railways that are fun in the wet There's a small museum at the Derwent Dams that tells you all about the Dambusters. Nearby Hathersage church contains the grave of Little John. |

That's fantastic! (We're going next week) Staying quite near Monyash. Thx DT and FR. Lots of ideas, plenty of which I'd not heard about. |
