Amazing survival from an earlier age. It was great to see the beam engine running under steam, and the volunteer staff were knowledgeable and engaging. An absolute must see if you have an interest in industrial history.

We visited High Peak Junction yesterday after a walk along the canal from the cromford Mills. The old station building and workshop was very atmospheric and the little cafe sold some lovely cake slices that went very nice with the teas and coffee. Well worth a visit.

We actually loved it up there , nice walk down the canal to the cottage with a lovely walk in the woods behind it , ....nice

They sell coffee and tea, with a few snacks. The workshop is now a museum. There are plenty of seating around the canal. But the real star is the trail.

Fascinating! Situated on the Cromford canal, this was once a major hub of transport activity, where the railway met with the canal network. The buildings that remain are original, but of course no longer used for the purpose they were intended. There is a visitor centre where you can get refreshments, gifts & information on what goes on here, there is also a guided tour about the heritage of the junction. The workshop is still in use, but only open to the public at certain times & only then via bookings for demonstration events. The high peak trail starts here & stretches 17.5 miles towards Buxton. We parked at Cromford mills & walked along the the canal path yo the junction,(around 1 mile). A visit here is well worth it. You can also take a trip on a narrowboat here.
