Welcome to Old Dam

Old Dam is a small village located in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England. The village is situated on the River Derwent and is known for its picturesque scenery and historic landmarks. One of the most notable landmarks in Old Dam is the Old Dam Mill, which was built in the 18th century and is now a popular tourist attraction. The mill was originally used for grinding corn and later became a cotton mill before being converted into a museum.

Another popular attraction in Old Dam is the Old Dam Reservoir, which was built in the 19th century to provide water for the local mills. The reservoir is now a popular spot for fishing and boating, and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Visitors can also take a walk along the nearby Cromford Canal, which was once used to transport goods between Derby and Manchester.

Old Dam is also home to several historic churches, including St. Mary's Church and St. John the Baptist Church. St. Mary's Church dates back to the 12th century and features a Norman doorway and a 14th-century tower. St. John the Baptist Church, on the other hand, was built in the 19th century and features a beautiful stained glass window. Both churches are open to visitors and offer a glimpse into the village's rich history.
