It’s that time of year when the nights begin to draw in and evenings start to become darker earlier. Luckily there are plenty of light displays taking place which bring some brightness and cheer to gloomy autumn evenings.
If you’re venturing to the Peak District this October half term then there’s one display at Cromford Mills which is worth checking out. Located near the town of Matlock, Cromford Mills is a Grade I listed mill complex full of industrial history.
Around an hour and 45 minutes drive from Greater Manchester, the area is full of stunning walks and nature trails to enjoy, as well as impressive mill buildings. During the day you can take a tour of the mill buildings and learn about Sir Richard Arkwright, who built the mill in 1771. Or you can explore the surrounding countryside.
