Grangemill is situated at a crossroads on the Via Gellia, the A5012 road from Cromford to Buxton. There are a few houses, the former mill, and a pub called the Hollybush.

Ible is situated on the hilltop just to the east. It's one of the Peak's best hidden little hamlets, a small cluster of farms on a bluff overlooking the Griffe Grange Valley below.
