Villains, Vice & Vintage Belper

This isn’t your usual town stroll. Discover the secret haunts of Belper’s most notorious criminals and uncover the underhanded tales that history tried to hide. From shady dealings to scandalous escapades, the town comes alive with intrigue at every corner.

Your 1.5-mile journey takes you through the heart of Belper:

  • Start at the bustling Market Place and uncover its hidden stories
  • Step inside the first purpose-built courthouse in Belper
  • Wander the historic grounds of St Peter’s Church
  • Meander through the homestead to the Triangle, back along the A6, and past iconic inns like the Lion Hotel and Railway Hotel
  • Explore King Street, where secrets linger behind every doorway

Mostly pavement, with some uphill stretches — perfect for a spine-tingling urban adventure.

  • Hear tales the history books won’t tell
  • Walk where criminals once roamed

This is your chance.
The shadows of Belper are waiting…
