Belper
'Belper' is a town in Amber Valley, Derbyshire. Getting here By train Belper is on the mainline between Derby and Chesterfield/Sheffield, although it is currently only served by one main line train per weekday. It is also served by the Derwent Valley line between Nottingham, Derby and Matlock. Trains run roughly every hour - see www.thetrainline.com for timetable details. The station is unmanned but you must buy tickets from the machine on the Derby bound platform to any destination. (If you join at a station like Derby with a booking office you must buy your ticket beforehand) By bus There are regular bus services to Derby, Nottingham, Manchester (a long but beautiful journey on TransPeak) and other local towns. For Ashbourne, change at Derby or take the less frequent direct service. By car/cycle Belper is on the A6 and close to the A38. Major roads lead to Chesterfield, Nottingham, Derby, Matlock and Ashbourne. Getting around Shanksie's pony is fine for the main part of town, but pack an extra bottle of pop if you're pushing a buggy or wheelchair from the river to St John's Chapel (especially if you go up Long Row - it's steep and cobbled). Park in the Derwent Street or Coppice car parks (free), Bridge Street, Field Lane and the River Gardens(all pay and display). Some on-street parking is also available. Highlights Belper North Mill This is one of the oldest surviving cotton mills in the world and well worth a visit. A walking tour round Belper is sometimes available from here taking you through the Cluster housing, past a nailmaker's workshop, along the jittys (aka gennels, channels, alleys, snickets, passageways) up to St John's Chapel (13th century) and finishing in one of the 30 or so pubs within a short walk. The North Mill website has a printable guide to the walk. A number of other walks also exist around the town. Beth's Poetry Trail Web http://www.bethspoetrytrail.co.uk/main.html offers installations of poems throughout the town and is a memorial to Beth Fender, the founder of Belper's two poetry groups. *'The River Gardens' are also pleasant, especially on Sunday afternoons in summer when free concerts are on..
