The quirky, historic market town of Wirksworth is just two miles away, and has shops, pubs, a couple of very nice restaurants and several take-aways.

The area is rich in history and is within easy reach of the Derwent Valley Mills world heritage site, Matlock, Bakewell and Ashbourne, and the country houses of Chatsworth, Haddon and Hardwick.
