Description
Ivy Dene is a lovely, double-fronted cottage in the attractive village of Crich. It is furnished and decorated to a superb standard with quality furniture and soft furnishings throughout its extensive accommodation. With a lounge gathered around a log burning stove, fantastic kitchen, three bedrooms, two with zip and link beds, two bathrooms and a cloakroom, it is a superb holiday retreat.
Crich is a wonderful village full of local life. Set in the village square, the cottage is a short stroll to the village pubs, bakery, restaurants, local butchers, general store, post office, pharmacy and a popular fish and chip shop. Just a short 10-minute drive away, you have Matlock and the beginnings of the Peak District or Belper and Cromford in the Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor.
There are lots of things to do around Crich, wandering the lovely footpaths, visiting the Crich Monument with views over five counties, exploring Wingfield Manor with its links to Mary Queen of Scots or even catching a 2d ride at the National Tramway Museum. But don’t forget the myriad of other visitor attractions that are close by like Chatsworth House, Hardwick Hall, Haddon Hall, the Heights of Abraham cable cars, Castleton’s spooky caverns, the Derwent Valley dams and the Great British Car Journey is a must!

Location
CRICH
Did you ever think Cardale village in the ‘Peak Practice’ T.V. series looked a lovely place? Well, that is Crich in real life set in the lovely rolling countryside just to the south of Matlock. Gathered around the market place it is a great village that really lives with its local stores, brilliant bakery, two super pubs and a well-known Indian restaurant.
Its other claim to fame is that it is home to the National Tramway Museum (Crich Tramway Village). This is a fantastic day out where the recreated period village has its cobbled street, working pub, café and tram depots. Re – live the olden days riding one of the 60 beautifully restored trams before wandering around the really interesting museum. You might also like to walk up to Crich Stand which is a memorial to the ‘fallen’ in the local army regiments. It is very moving to go up there and it also gives you incredible views over five counties and all the local attractions.
The Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor, Matlock Bath with its cable cars, Carsington Water with its wild water sports, the National Stone Centre featuring everything to do with stone and Matlock with its Peak Rail steam train rides can all be found in the local hills. Don’t forget to visit Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall and all the other stately homes.
Local pubs: The Cliff Inn and the Old Black Swan pubs in Crich. The Bluebell Inn and The Old Yew Tree in South Wingfield. The Canal Inn at Bullbridge, just down the hill from Crich and reopened a couple of months ago. The White Hart at Moorwood Moor is close by. These latter two are known to the owners and have also been mentioned by guests. There’s also The Red Lion, Fritchley, just down the road.
