Wildlife along the Cromford Canal
The Golden Valley Country Park adjoins a section of the canal. Herons are often seen, and hedgerows have been left in place, providing an ideal environment for Holly Blue butterflies.
The Derbyshire Wildlife Trust cares for several abandoned sections of the canal, and the final half-mile of canal into Cromford is designated as a wildlife site.
