In Crich you can see vehicles from different eras, including an unusual open-top tram that looks more like a barge than a bus. Sometimes it runs around the village if the weather is nice.





The village of Crich on the edge of the Derwent Valley (England) has become a real magnet for tourists. It seems as if time has stood still in the village. There you can see incredibly gorgeous landscapes, trams of all shapes and sizes, historical buildings, and attractions for the whole family.

It is worth noting that visiting the village is not free. A ticket for one adult and four children, or two adults and three children, costs around £50.

However, the ticket is valid all year round, so travellers can return again. This is an important advantage for people who live nearby, as they have the opportunity to visit the attractions many times during the season.

There is one more small touch. All guests of the village are given old coins as a gift, which can be used to pay the conductor on the tram. Adults are given one old-style penny, while children are given a halfpenny. This helps to feel the spirit of a bygone era.





For lovers of urban studies, it is worth paying attention to the Derby Assembly Hall from 1763. The facade of this building was restored in the 1970s after a major fire in the central part of the village.

Local guides report that many of the rides are outdoors, so they do not work in winter. If you still want to ride, it is better to plan a visit for spring.
