Experience the power of this great steam engine. The heat of the boilers, the smell of grease and coal and the power of the wave as tons of water are pumped from the River Derwent to the Cromford Canal.

Look out for Birdswood the traditional narrowboat, which is horse drawn on these dates. Directions: Park at High Peak Junction car park, signed from Cromford, or enjoy a pleasant walk of just over a mile along the Canal from Cromford Wharf.

Charges: FREE but donations are gratefully received.

Parking charges apply.
