    Belper North Mill, also known as Strutt’s North Mill, is one of the Derwent Valley Mills which was given UNESCO World Heritage Status in 2001.  The Mill in Belper played a vital role in the UK’s Industrial Revolution and is of architectural and historic importance.  Lasting about 1 hour 15 minutes, join the knowledgeable guide who will take you on an external tour of the Belper Mills site, with an exclusive trip into the North Mill basement. (There are steps to the basement & also it could be chilly).

    There are two car parks, one at the front of the North Mill, and the other at the back. The address is Bridgefoot, Belper DE56 1YD.
