Golden Valley, Derbyshire

Golden Valley, Derbyshire

Golden Valley is a small Derbyshire hamlet in between the larger villages of Codnor, and Riddings, and also near Ironville and Codnor Park to the east. There also once was a road to Ripley, but this is now disused.

It is most well known for being host of the now derelict Cromford Canal, being at the eastern portal of Butterley Tunnel, from there the canal merges into Codnor Park Reservoir, which has an unexploded German bomb from World War Two marooned at the bottom. The Pinxton arm of the canal also starts at Golden Valley.

It is also know for its picturesque cottages on the canal side, and also the Newlands Inn, which closed down in 2007.
