Newly renovated in tasteful style, Oak Hill is a must-see: a restaurant and bar in a seventeenth century Arkwright mansion with wonderful grounds. Open daily for food including Sunday lunch, or you can just have a drink and enjoy the views. Described by one Michelin starred chef who visited recently as 'the squirrels nuts', Oak Hill can be reached on foot via the back lanes of Cromford or in summer across the fields.

buses...'the sixes'

if you walk down to Matlock there are buses from the bus station and various stops through Matlock Bath that stop at the end of our street, called the sixes. They take cash... Ask for Barnwell Lane, Cromford. Very handy for avoiding the long haul up that hill. They also continue up to Wirksworth.

booking

Restaurants and pub food: book before you arrive as a general rule, (but bizarrely, even when they say on the phone they're full, you sometimes find they have tables if you just turn up!)

scenic walk to the Boat Inn

Scenic walk walk along the path and straight up the slope behind the cottage to Rose End Meadows wildlife sanctuary. Continue along either footpath across three fields and past a bench then through a gate. Here you can go straight ahead through more fields and down an escarpment ro the river or left on a longer walk. instead turn right and walk down the path until you see Cromford Village on your left. a steep path with a railing leads you down to Goulds and Walkers garages. Walk with Scissors hairdressers on your left along Scarthins and you'll reach Scarthins books and Boat pub.
