Situated in the heart of Derbyshire and just two miles South of the Peak District National Park boundary, the traditional market town of Wirksworth makes a perfect base for discovering the thriving towns, sleepy villages and dramatic beauty of this area. We have plenty of lovely self-catering cottages in Wirksworth and the surrounding area to choose from, so you are sure to find somewhere you will love.
The market town is a fascinating place to explore for lovers of industrial heritage. Although the town can trace its origins to the Doomsday Book, it thrived during the 17th and 18th centuries and was the centre of the English Lead Mining Industry during this period. This history is evident in many of the buildings around the town and can be discovered in more detail at the numerous heritage sites in the area, so you won't struggle for things to do in Wirksworth.
