Birdswood is an historic ex-working narrow boat belonging to canal restoration charity The Friends of Cromford Canal. The boat and gift shop at Cromford Wharf are run by a dedicated team of volunteers. Birdswood runs scheduled public trips from March to October. Additionally we operate theme events, school trips and exclusive charters, making the boat an ideal private venue for functions for up to 40 people. Come and enjoy a peaceful, relaxing journey along the scenic, rural Cromford Canal, get up close to the fabulous wildlife, and learn about the unique industrial heritage of the Derwent Valley.

Matlock Boats and Train

We have 10 little motor boats sitting on the boating lake within the historic victorian 'Hall Leys Park'. We also have a small diesel engine 'Little David' who travels up a short track before returning. Great for adults and children alike. Much loved attraction which has been here since the 1930's
