LOCAL AREA INFORMATION - a few thoughts from the vendors about the local area and its facilities................... Belper seems to be undergoing some very positive developments.

• A number of initiatives involving the confirmation of the Derwent Valley as a World Heritage Site (http://www.derwentvalleymills.org/) have had real beneficial impact upon the area.
• Belper now has an excellent Cinema (www.ritz-belper.co.uk) and some very welcoming pubs such as the recently refurbished Black Swan (http://www.ambervalley.gov.uk/microsites/press/2006/09/THIrestorationcontinuesinBelper.htm), and the Hill Top.
• Some great local eating-places are to be found in the town centre which also has an excellent delicatessen (Fresh Basil on Strutt Street), regional finalist in the UKTV Food Heroes 2007 (http://www.belpernews.co.uk/news?articleid=3073242), other specialist food suppliers, craft bakery, award winning butchers and a monthly Farmers Market
