Spirit of Place

Thu 18 February 2021 By Ian Dent

Spirit of Place

The Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site is conducting a survey to help them find their “Spirit of Place”

What does the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site mean to you? What makes it special? Is it the history, the landscape, its communities, its people?

What’s distinctive about the main parts of the site; its northern, central and southern areas from Matlock Bath down to Derby?

Our new online survey is an opportunity for you to tell us – whether you live here, work here, or just sometimes visit the valley. The feedback will help us develop ‘Spirit of Place’ propositions which we will use in future planning and promotional work.

The survey will be open until 19th March and is completely confidential, so we don’t need any information about you – just your thoughts on what makes these areas special. The more responses we get, the better we can represent everyone’s views.

If you wish, you can also enter our FREE PRIZE DRAW with a chance of winning over £100 of vouchers to spend with local suppliers in the Derwent Valley!
