Lots of engineering history and fascinating to see the progress through history for this area, how Arkwright changed the way of production and how it affected his industry around the country.
Heartily recommend the guided tour and our guide was fantastically knowledgeable about everything we asked her about.

They have a few little shops on site which have antiques and curiosities which are owned by a consortium and very reasonably priced too.
There are tours available which explains the history and and how Arkwright founded the Mills and became a major employer in the area.

There’s construction work going on at the moment to bring water-power back to the mills.
Gift shop, cafe plus antique and bric-à-brac.
Don’t miss out the Wharf - the cafe there is excellent with outdoor seating next to the canal.

So we took everyone to Cromford Mills which is ideal for a rainy day.
The staff were so welcoming and accommodating. Allan is a treasure trove of information.
A brilliant experience where you can easily imagine the life of a worker there.
Strongly recommended. In good weather you could pop for a cuppa and a bite at the cafe across the road, or bring some bread and treat your self to some of the beautiful cheese and pickles or chutneys sold there.
Can be half a day or a full day. Most certainly one of the best attractions in the area.

There were good visuals - such as a video of an actor playing Arkwright, seeing the real waterwheel photo next to the location as it stands today, and how cotton is made/spun.
We did prebook the tour, but not sure that's needed. You can also do the additional audio tour after the guided tour, though we had limited time so skipped this part.
On site is also a cafe and some shops, with the town nearby.
