A guided heritage walk along the Via Gellia valley from Cromford, led by Tony Wood.

Join local guide Tony Wood for a heritage walk following the Via Gellia valley from Cromford. The route traces the old industrial valley alongside the brook, taking in the sites of former wood mills and paint mills that once used water power to process locally produced materials. This is a good one for anyone interested in the area's industrial history, with Tony sharing background on the valley's past as you walk. Organised by the Peak District Mining Museum.
