National Tramway Museum - Step back in time at Crich Tramway Village in Derbyshire.
The National Tramway Museum, located at Crich in Derbyshire, offers a unique heritage experience set within the charming Crich Tramway Village. Home to over 60 historic trams, mostly dating from 1900 to 1930, it provides visitors with a fascinating journey into Britain's transport history.
Set within a recreated period village, the museum features traditional buildings including a pub, café, sweetshop and tram depots. Visitors can ride beautifully restored vintage trams along a scenic one-mile route that travels through the village and out into the surrounding countryside before returning.
Many of the trams once operated in cities across the United Kingdom before tram systems closed in the mid 20th century. Today, they have been carefully restored, with some even brought from overseas, allowing visitors to experience this historic mode of transport first-hand.
The site also includes the Eagle Press, a small museum dedicated to traditional letterpress printing, featuring historic equipment such as a 1859 Columbian printing press. Together, the exhibits create a rich and immersive look at both transport and industrial heritage.
With its mix of history, interactive experiences and family friendly attractions, the National Tramway Museum is a great day out in Derbyshire.
