Crich Tramway Museum is situated near the town of Matlock, Derbyshire, which is about twelve miles from Bakewell.
The Museum has an extensive collection of Tramcars both from Britain and abroad, and spanning the earliest horse-drawn Trams up to those in use in the present day.
|
The Trams are housed in large buildings, and are available to walk around and view, and there are also static displays putting the various trams in their respective historical context, along with examples of street furniture and period artifacts. | ||

Not only are there static displays, but throughout the year the Museum runs passenger services on various trams on their own mile and a half of track, giving the visitor the opportunity to experience a real tram-ride.

As well as the tram displays and rides, there are picnic areas and a walk through the beautiful wooded countryside
surrounding the Museum.
