Matlock 6 miles.
Wirksworth is a small, charming market town situated just a few miles from Matlock, on the edge of the White Peak. Wirksworth is full of character with many buildings of architectural interest, including its magnificent parish church. Visitors will enjoy exploring the ancient “jitties” and courtyards, and the National Stone Centre, as well as the delightful surrounding countryside including nearby Carsington Water and the High Peak Trail. Rock climbing and cycling can be enjoyed here at every level, and there is good walking all around. Well Dressing is unique to Derbyshire, and Wirksworth combines this tradition with a lively carnival. The annual Arts festival attracts international performers of every kind. Beautiful Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy reach, as well as Matlock Bath with its spectacular cable car, the newly restored Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and Gulliver's Kingdom. Only 2 miles away, the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site in Cromford is not to be missed. In all, Wirksworth is a great location for a varied holiday.

Previous visitors' comments about Shalcroft:
Very warm cottage, comfortable and clean. Lovely area of interest to walk in and good shops and restaurants in village.
Mrs Wolsey, Norwich, November 2011
The cottage was in the heart of the village of Wirksworth and although the cottage was small it was beautifully furnished and clean - very cosy.
Mrs Etheridge, Doncaster, October 2011
We were so grateful that you found us somewhere at such short notice. We had a lovely few days exploring the area. The property's caretaker was really helpful and the town itself was very friendly.
Mr Smethurst, Sevenoaks, August 2011
The property had those little things that made it possible to enjoy the break straight away without a rush to buy tea, coffee, milk etc. We had a very pleasant stay at Shalcroft and would certainly rent this property and/or others again.
