Where to Stay

Several people have e-mailed me saying they would like to visit Wirksworth but do not know where to stay. The Information below is taken from a booklet called Accomodation in the Derbyshire Dales 1999 obtained from the Town Hall, Matlock and obtainable from most Tourist Information Centres in Derbyshire (and its FREE!). The booklet contains far more information than I have been willing to type out here. Below is the essential information for the Wirksworth Area only. I have not used any of the accomodation so I cannot comment on its quality, I always use Matlock Youth Hostel, or if full then Elton Youth Hostel which I find convenient and cheap.
