A cracking day out today,visiting firstly Cromford,it's canal and historic Mills and later walking up to Matlock Bath with it's lovely Victorian riverside scenery.
We had never visited Cromford before and we walked along the canal up to High Peak Junction and back.
A few nice birds were seen along here and included a 'Cronking' Raven as it flew overhead and 4 Little Grebes(The tamest ones I've ever seen) and a gorgeous pair of Mute Swans along the canal.
After our first little walk,we explored the famous Mills area here,which Sir Richard Arkwright put firmly on the world map after his inventions in Cotton spinning and production.
It was then onto our personal favourite area Matlock Bath,only a 20 minute walk along the A38.Along here and near to Masson Mill,we saw a gorgeous Dipper,our first of the year.
Tracey and myself spent our honeymoon in the area 25 years ago in this coming March and stayed at Matlock Bath....happy memories.
The following are my favourite images from our super day out.
