Ripley, a town with its roots in industry, mainly due to the Butterley Company with its ironworks.
Today the town has a shopping centre, and a leisure centre, and despite rebuilding work some of the original buildings remain to be seen today.
A day out in Matlock and Matlock Bath, lots of things to see and do.
