Today the village is part of the Valley Mills World Heritage Site and offers good local amenities with easy access to the nearby towns of Wirksworth (1.8 miles), Matlock (2.6 miles), and Belper (7.8 miles), and is within commuting distance of Derby and Nottingham and has easy access to the M1 Motorway via the A38 trunk road.
