Cromford Open Gardens

 approx 15 gardens open Cromford, near Matlock, Derbyshire Peak District
Sunday 9th July 2023
12.00noon to 5.00pm

Visitors to Cromford events - the Celebrating Cromford weekend festival and Apple Day as well as the Open Gardens - often tell us that they have passed through many times but never before stopped. To pause and explore behind the historic stone frontages of Arkwright's Mill village is to be surprised and delighted.

Our gardens this year range from a courtyard to romantic terraces on the limestone, to idiosyncratic back gardens, to Country Mansion grounds. Vegetables compete with flowers and lawns. Features include a family mountain railway, solar panels, beehives, wormery, slow worm hotel and spiral staircase access.

Free minibus lifts up and down the steeper roads will be available and the views from the higher gardens over the Derwent Valley and surrounding hills and woods are a reward in themselves.

Refreshments will be available in several gardens and our village is blessed in still having pubs, small restaurants and several outstanding independent shops, galleries and craft workshops.

Proceeds go towards village charities and events.
