Here you can marvel at the gleaming and lovingly restored trams and buy a ticket (with an old penny) to ride on as many as you like.

You could search for one of the child-friendly luxury holiday cottages in this area so that all the family can enjoy what Crich has to offer.The summit of Crich Hill, where Crich Stand is situated, is reputed to have been the site of a Beacon Fire, which signalled the sighting of the Spanish Armada in the English Channel in 1588. It is now home to a memorial to the men of the Sherwood Foresters regiment, most of whom came from Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Each year on the first Sunday in July a Pilgrimage and Service is held at the Memorial site.
The popular T.V. medical drama "Peak Practice" used Crich as the fictional village of Cardale and many fans of the series make a pilgrimage to Crich. With pubs, shops and a fish and chip shop there is everything you could need for one of the luxury holiday cottages in the area.
