Location
Wirksworth offers a good variety of shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes, and a lively arts and social scene including the famous Arts Festival. There are medical facilities and good schools nearby, and excellent transport links including regular bus services, trains from nearby Cromford, and you can even catch a steam train to Duffield on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway on special occasions! The Derbyshire Dales offer beautiful countryside walks and cycle rides, and nearby Carsington Water has water sports, walks and wildlife. A short drive takes you to the Peak District National Park.
Set in the heart of Wirksworth's conservation area but tucked away from the bustling main street, North End has a history all of its own. Originally the town's main thoroughfare and a manufacturing centre for red tape, it is now a mainly residential street with beautiful period homes, the independent Northern Light Cinema and a charming low key pub, the Royal Oak. Walk a short distance along Coldwell Street, past the monument and old Baptist Church, and you are in the town centre with all the amenities that it has to offer.
