About

Wirksworth ward encompasses the historic market town of Wirksworth and its surrounding rural villages and hamlets within the Derbyshire Dales. The landscape is defined by the rolling limestone hills of the White Peak, with dry stone walls dividing farmland and pastures. The area's geology has been central to its history, providing the stone for local buildings and shaping a former lead mining economy. Settlements here are compact, with narrow lanes connecting them across the upland terrain.

The town itself features a notable medieval street pattern radiating from its market place. A specific legacy of its industrial past is the annual Wirksworth Well Dressing, a tradition that traces its origins to the purification of water sources for miners. The ward includes the ecologically significant site of the National Stone Centre, located in old quarry workings, which details the region's carboniferous limestone. Economic activity includes small-scale manufacturing, services, and tourism linked to the area's heritage and proximity to the Peak District National Park.
