Cromford Canal Pond

Hidden Canal Path, Cromford Canal (Buckland Hollow Section)

Highlight • Cycleway

The entrance is a little tricky to find unless you're coming from Sawmills as it's located in the carpark at the Excavator pub but there is two ways to do it, one at the front and one at rear each one being little more than a gap in the hedge, it does however get a little muddy at the pub end in winter as it not as well surfaced as the rest of it

View of Heage Windmill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice view across the fields to Heage Windmill from this footpath. The windmill was first built in 1797 but restored in 2002. The traditional working windmill is now a visitor attraction, you can see its workings and buy the freshly milled flour.

St Luke's Church, Heage

Highlight • Religious Site

There was a church in existence by 1343 as Nicholas of High Edge (Heage) is recorded as the first priest. The medieval church was nearly all destroyed in a storm on 20 June 1545. The church was rebuilt between 1646 and 1661 incorporating the old east window.

The church was expanded in 1826 and in 1847 the church floor was relaid and a heating system was installed. At the same time as these improvements, the churchyard was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield on 9 June 1847 for burials.Further restorations took place in 1856. The east window had stained glass installed. The previous heating apparatus was found to be ineffective and was replaced with a hot water system. A new inner porch was added to the door and the vestry was enlarged. Another restoration was needed by 1897. The church was closed for 1 year and 9 months because of a lack of agreement on the position of the altar and communion rails. The dispute ended up in the Consistory Court. In the end, they remained in their original location.
