Welcome to Arkwright Town

Arkwright Town is a small village located in the county of Derbyshire, England. The village is named after Sir Richard Arkwright, who was a prominent figure in the Industrial Revolution and is known for inventing the water frame, a machine that revolutionized the textile industry. The village was built around the cotton mills that Arkwright established in the late 18th century, and it quickly became a hub of industrial activity.

Today, Arkwright Town is a quiet and peaceful village that is home to around 1,000 people. The village has a strong sense of community, and there are several local events and activities that take place throughout the year. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and fishing. There are also several local pubs and restaurants where visitors can enjoy a meal or a drink.

Despite its small size, Arkwright Town has a rich history and is an important part of the industrial heritage of Derbyshire. The village is home to several historic buildings, including the Arkwright Arms, which was built in the 18th century and is now a popular pub. The village also has a strong connection to the textile industry, and visitors can learn more about this history by visiting the nearby Cromford Mills, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Overall, Arkwright Town is a charming and picturesque village that is well worth a visit for anyone interested in history, nature, or simply a peaceful getaway.
