Wirksworth WWelcome to our page of information, attractions and places of interest around Wirksworth. The bed and breakfast in Wirksworth listed below are either in the town or we have given a rough guide as to how far it is from Wirksworth. The pretty market town of Wirksworth existed well before the Norman Conquest. At one time it was the headquarters of the lead - mining industry in the South Peak, but now relies on limestone quarrying for its staple industry. It is here that the lead - miners have their Barmote Court to deal with mining disputes, and is the oldest industrial court in the country. It still meets twice a year in the Moot Hall in Chapel Lane. The Heritage Centre in Crown Yard is an ideal place to begin to explore Wirksworth and wander round the Town Hall. Narrow alleys climb the hillside away from the market place to groups of cottages clustered around tiny yards. Also see Wirksworth.
