The Village
Crich Tramway Village, set in beautiful Derbyshire countryside, is a unique open air museum that combines a recreated period village with a working tramway where visitors can enjoy a memorable journey. You are invited to:
“Step back in time along the re-created period street where you won’t have to wait long for the rumble of a vintage tram. Boarding the tram, you will have great views of the Derwent Valley. Many of the buildings along the street have been rescued from towns and cities across the UK, such as the Derby Assembly Rooms façade which came to Crich after a tragic fire. The Red Lion Pub and Restaurant came all the way from Stoke-on-Trent and was re-built brick by brick. Also look out for the street furniture, which is dotted along the street, including the Bundy Clock at Town End Terminus and The Exhibition Hall windows, which were rescued from the Doncaster tram depot.”
Also explore the indoor exhibitions, including many actual trams, the full history of trams and a library with many photographs. Also explore the outdoor Sculpture Garden and stroll along the Woodland Walk, where again you can view items and the Derbyshire countryside. Afterwards, buy your souvenirs at the shop.
For refreshments. in addition to the Pub, there is the Tram Stop Cafe, an ice cream kiosk and a sweet shop.
Accessability
