Bridge HillHouse

Bridge Hill House stands on Lodge Drive in Belper, built in 2007 by owners Steve and Caroline Cavers on a plot within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, overlooking Strutt's North and East Mill. The site carries an older history: the plot once held a house built for George Benson Strutt, son of the mill owner Jedidiah Strutt, and behind the current building stand listed vaulted chambers and an ice house that served the original mansion. The Caverses cleared more than forty tons of debris from the ice house during restoration work. Four en-suite rooms, named Arkwright, Strutt, Slater and Nightingale after figures connected to the valley's industrial history, are let to guests, with the house run as a bed and breakfast rather than a hotel.
