Ashford-in-the Water B&B Guide Derby
Arguably the most picturesque village in Derbyshire is historic Ashford-in-the Water situated on the banks of the River Wye.
With its long Iron Age history and known for its black marble, it was one of the major crossing points on the Wye. The river and the bridges across it are major features of Ashford, dating back to the 17th century is the splendid Sheepwash Bridge with a pen next to it for the purpose of washing the sheep prior to shearing, a practice that continued until quite recently. Head downstream and you’ll find Mill Bridge built in 1664. This is some of the most beautiful and spectacular county with inspiring history and heritage set amid awesome natural scenery and a walkers’ paradise and makes an excellent base for touring the southern Peak and the moorlands.
