Wakebridge is a hamlet in the civil parish of Crich, in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, England.1 It is located 1-mile (1.6 km) north-west of the village of Crich and lies close to Crich Quarry.

Wakebridge Farm is a former dairy farm including a Grade II listed late 18th century farmhouse and attached stone barns, built by Peter Nightingale on the site of a medieval manor house and chapel. The farm sits in a small valley overlooking the Derwent Valley. On the adjacent hillside is the Grade II* listed Crich Stand, as well as the National Tramway Museum, a popular tourist attraction.2
