Darley Bridge
The village extends back up the hill with more recent houses, including a substantial line of semi-detached properties and Ivonbrook care home. At the upper end, known as Cross Green, there is the parish church (grade II listed) of St Mary the Virgin, South Darley Church of England Primary School, South Darley Village Hall and Cross Green Plantation.
The nearest train station is Darley Dale railway station, opened in 1849. This is now a heritage line with diesel and steam trains run by Peak Rail, with a connection to the main railway network at Matlock Station. The 172 bus route of Hulleys of Baslow runs from Bakewell to Matlock, via Wensley, Darley Bridge and Darley Dale.
History
The bridge dates back to the 15th century and features two pointed arches, and three semi-circular arches.
