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.

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.
