Grooms Cottage overlooks a wooded dell and adjoins a 2-acre paddock and play field with parking. The Black Brook trout stream runs alongside the paddock, (children under supervision please), and fun fishing is welcome, subject to locally-obtainable River Licence.

Grooms Cottage is close to many footpaths and bridleway trails: you might wander up to the Depth of Lumb: saunter along the nearby packhorse trail and lead-miners Portway (still traceable all the way up to Castleton in the High Peak); and wander a few furlongs south to the wooded gritstone Chevin Hills, the very last outpost of Englands Pennine backbone. Belper’s formal River Gardens (summer Sunday brass-bands!) and Visitor Centre are around half a mile, down by the town’s historic Mills. It is well positioned to visit all the attractions of Amber Valley and The Peak National Park.
