The area around Pear Tree Cottage is called āThe Puzzle Gardensā and has the feel of a Cornish fishing village - a random patchwork of houses and gardens removed from traffic and noise.

Wirksworth is a small, charming market town situated just a few miles from Matlock, on the edge of the White Peak. It is full of character with many buildings of architectural interest, including its magnificent parish church. Independent shops sit alongside the deli, butchers, and bakers, with a strong local food ethic. Visitors will enjoy the Heritage Centre and the delightful surrounding countryside including nearby Carsington Water, Black Rocks, and the High Peak Trail. Rock climbing and cycling can be enjoyed here at every level, and there are good walking routes all around. Well dressing is unique to Derbyshire, and Wirksworth combines this tradition with a lively carnival in May, and a leading rural annual arts festival in September, showcasing contemporary art and international performers of every kind. With an art deco independent cinema and a range of places to eat there is plenty to keep you entertained. The town offers a leisure centre with a climbing wall and a small trainer swimming pool, an Eco Centre, and the Mount Cook Adventure Centre. The weekly market and monthly farmersā market provide local produce and crafts. Beautiful Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy reach, as well as Matlock Bath, with its spectacular cable car, the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and Gulliverās Kingdom. Only 2 miles away, the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site in Cromford is not to be missed. In all, Wirksworth is a great location for a varied holiday, with shops, pubs, and restaurants 500 yards away.

We had a fabulous time staying at Pear Tree Cottage. It's spacious, stylish, comfortable and well equipped. The views are lovely and we were lucky enough to find a parking space on The Dale.

The cottage was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a lovely stay. It was well located for visiting the peak district and local amenities were only a short walk away. Finding the cottage and managing to park were a little challenging, but well worth it for such a great stay.
