Location

Darley Abbey is a popular suburb situated approximately 2 miles north of Derby city centre, with frontage onto the A6 and excellent access to the wider regional road network including the A38, A50 and M1.

At its heart lies the Darley Abbey Mills complex, part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, positioned on the banks of the River Derwent.

The Mills have been sympathetically restored and now provide a vibrant mix of high-quality office, studio and business accommodation, together with leisure, hospitality and creative occupiers, all in a distinctive riverside setting.

Vehicular access is via Haslams Lane with pedestrian and cycle access via the newly installed Walter's Walkway in 2024, ensuring continued connectivity across the river following the closure of the former toll bridge.

The Long Mill is one of the principal mill buildings and occupies a central and commanding position on site, fronting the main access road and overlooking the River Derwent.
