The Tor Cafe — Restaurant in Derbyshire Dales

American tourist visiting Cromford Mill, Cromford Canal, and High Peak Junction. I visited Cromford on May 10 2025. The weather was great. It was sunny, warm, but not hot.

Free WiFi is a bonus as mobile...

All I can say is wow.. This little cafe is amazing. My two children are dairy free, i am a vegetarian and my partner a huge meat eater and our breakfasts this morning were devine.
