A Little About Wirksworth

Wirksworth is a lovely market town which has undergone a significant renaissance over the past 20 or so years and is gaining a national reputation as a truly exceptional place to live and visit. It is a magnet for professionals, families and particularly the artistic community with the annual Wirksworth Arts festival drawing in thousands of visitors from across the UK and beyond. The draw of Wirksworth in part is its central location. IIt is ideally situated for commuting by road or rail as Derby, Nottingham, Sheffield and Chesterfield are all well within an hours commute (by car) but are also accessible from the national rail hub at Derby which connects at local stations - Cromford. Located in the Peak District, the lovely country houses of Chatsworth, Haddon, Hardwick, Tissington and Bolsover castle are all minutes away, whilst the leisure facilities of Carsington Water and the beautiful countryside which is on the doorstep are equally a huge draw for visitors and locals alike.
