 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. |
