This is a great place for grown ups and kids. Lots of books, a great kids room, and really nice cafe, lots of good books new and old. A favourite to go to with my daughter after rugby or a walk nearby to get food for body and soul. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Contemporary Art Gallery - selling fine art & ceramics. Opened July 2017. The Old Lock Up Gallery is situated within a beautiful stone building, built in the 1700’s, in the beautiful and historic Derbyshire village of Cromford. The building itself is steeped in history – as it was owned by Sir Richard Arkwright and used as the village jail, one of the first of it’s kind in the country.

The Old Lockup Gallery manages, without fail, to host an annual program that would make any small gallery in London feel proud. Whilst supporting and championing local artists the space also manages to invite artists from all over the globe in its annual postcard show, you would be forgiven for not knowing that this space is managed and run by a single person. Alongside the exhibitions you can engage with the gallery with one of its many artist lead workshops from life drawing to painting, often complimented with drinks and food. Honestly the gallery is fantastic, always fresh and something the local community should be proud to host. Visit often and where possible offer a donation to keep it open, I promise you will miss it if it ever leaves us.

Visited the Black rocks for a day out with children, for the first time in cromford, Derbyshire, i was mesmerised by the stunning views soon as we had got there, a great place for walks with children or on own to admire the stunning views, right outside our door step, The climb of the rocks a little scary but a lovely little adventure as a family, we went during summer months of 2020, with a little picnic, Sandwich and coffee with a view. A great place to visit with kids for some exciting outdoor fresh air.
