Ironville was an industrial model village built to accommodate
workers at the nearby Butterley Forge & Ironworks. As well as providing
cottages, the company also built the church, the local school and a mechanics
institute. Nearby Golden Valley was given it's name as an area rich in mineral
resources. The Cromford Canal links into the nearby Butterley Reservoir - a
popular fishing haunt with lots of surrounding walks and pathways. Codnor
Park, once a deer park is home to the ruins of Codnor Castle and Jessop
Monument. Ironville is a village, rich in history - some of which can be
found in the Heritage & History Sections of this website. So please spend a
little time with us finding out about the history of this area. Ironville
and Codnor Park are situated in Derbyshire but now have a Nottinghamshire

Park are welcome.
