Derwent Valley: The National Heritage Corridor (2003)

Late in 2001 The Derwent Valley was granted World Heritage Status putting it on par with The Pyramids & The Grand Canyon. The Importance of the River Derwent and the part it played in the industrial revolution has always been overshadowed by those who have shouted louder; at last the record has been set straight. This video takes you on a journey from the source of the Derwent to it's confluence, a journey of 66 miles through some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain, and visits many of the historic places which played such an important part in the birth of our Nations Industrial Heritage.
