Welcome to Cressbrook

Cressbrook is a small village located in the Derbyshire Dales, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Wye and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic cotton mill, which was built in the 18th century and played a significant role in the Industrial Revolution. Today, the mill has been converted into luxury apartments, but the village still retains its charm and character.

One of the main attractions in Cressbrook is the Monsal Trail, a former railway line that has been converted into a walking and cycling path. The trail runs for 8.5 miles and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It passes through several tunnels and over viaducts, including the famous Headstone Viaduct, which is over 300 feet long and 50 feet high. The trail is popular with both locals and tourists and is a great way to explore the area.

Cressbrook is also home to several historic buildings, including the 12th-century St. John the Baptist Church and the Cressbrook Hall, a Grade II listed building that was once the home of the mill owners. The village has a strong sense of community and hosts several events throughout the year, including a summer fete and a Christmas market. Overall, Cressbrook is a charming village that offers a glimpse into the history and beauty of the Derbyshire Dales.
