Welcome to Whatstandwell

Whatstandwell is a small village located in the county of Derbyshire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Derwent and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its picturesque scenery and is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

One of the main attractions in Whatstandwell is the Cromford Canal, which runs through the village. The canal was built in the late 18th century to transport goods between the towns of Cromford and Langley Mill. Today, the canal is a popular spot for boating and fishing, and visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the towpath to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Another popular attraction in Whatstandwell is the nearby Peak District National Park. The park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with miles of hiking trails, cycling routes, and rock climbing opportunities. Visitors can also explore the quaint villages and historic landmarks that dot the landscape, including the famous Chatsworth House, which is located just a short drive from Whatstandwell.
