Location

Approximately 14 miles from Derby, 23 from Nottingham and 27 from Sheffield and as such Wirksworth has become popular for commuters but remains a truly lived-in town with a real sense of community. It offers a good variety of shops, places to eat, several notable public houses and the independent Northern Light Cinema. There is a lively arts scene and this includes the well renowned Arts Festival which takes place over a fortnight in September. Just a short distance from the centre of Wirksworth, Cromford Road is well placed for easy access to the local facilities, schools, medical centre and leisure centre. It is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside providing endless possibilities for walks and cycle rides from the door. Nearby Carsington Water has water sports, walks and wildlife and a short drive takes you into the Peak District National Park, the oldest National Park in England.
