With Springwatch visiting the NT Longshaw estate on the Derbyshire /Yorkshire border why not visit Cromford and it’s fabulous bookshop !
Intro! We are Scarthin Books from the historic and
picturesque village of Cromford. Est. in 1974 we have recently celebrated our 50th birthday which is a welcome relief after nearly falling down in 2015 due to the weight of 100,000 books. We have a vegan/vegetarian café and a cat who visits daily.
