About The Lumsdale Valley
The Lumsdale Valley
Lying just outside the pretty town of Matlock, on the edge of the Peak District National Park, the Lumsdale Valley is a hidden gem. It’s a place of fascinating history and stunning natural beauty, with romantically overgrown ruins standing beside cascading waterfalls which tumble through a wooded valley. Designated a scheduled ancient monument because of its historic importance, the Lumsdale Valley was once a bustling centre of industry, with a collection of mills all powered by water from Bentley Brook. The brook rises on Matlock Moor and has never been known to dry up.
