Has Matlock got the UK's last powered Boating Lake? Stuart Turner engine on view.
A visit to Matlock and Hall Leys Park, we found a lovely boating lake. The boats are run by Stuart Turner engines, and believed to now be the last running ones in the UK? The park itself is just over 100 years old, so I wonder if they have had a boating lake all that time?
Giddy Edge - Britain's Scariest Public Footpath
A family brave a walk along what could be Britain's scariest path.
Known as Giddy Edge the public footpath clings to the edge of High Tor, with only an old metal handrail to hang on to, above a 300 ft sheer drop to Matlock Bath, Derbyshire below.
Places to see in ( Wirksworth - UK )
Places to see in ( Wirksworth - UK )
Wirksworth is a market town in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England . Wirksworth is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. Within it is the source of the River Ecclesbourne. The town was granted a market charter by Edward I in 1306. The market is still held, every Tuesday in the market square. The parish church of St Mary's is believed to date from about AD 653.
Historically, Wirksworth developed as a centre for lead mining and later of stone quarrying. Many of the lead mines in the area were owned by the Gell family of nearby Hopton Hall, and their name is preserved in the Via Gellia, a main road to the north-west of the town, and in the Anthony Gell School.
The Wirksworth area may have been visited by Homo erectus as long as 150,000 years ago, during warm inter-glacial periods. An Acheulean handaxe from the Lower Paleolithic has been found at Hopton nearby. From other remains found in the county there would seem to have been human presence at least periodically until the Romans arrived. The Carboniferous limestone around Wirksworth has been extensively quarried through the town's history, resulting in several rock faces and cliffs in the hills that surround the town.
Districts of Wirksworth include Yokecliffe, Gorsey Bank, Bolehill, Mountford and Miller's Green. Bolehill, although technically a hamlet in its own right in Wirksworth's suburbs, is the oldest and most northern part of the town, while Yokecliffe is a fairly new estate in the western area of the town. Modern houses have recently been built in the Three Trees area and at the bottom of Steeple Grange, this housing estate is called Spring Close.
Within Wirksworth civil parish are 108 structures that are listed by Historic England for their historic or architectural interest. The Parish Church of St Mary is listed Grade I and eight structures (15 Market Place, 35 Green Hill, 1 Coldwell Street, Haarlem Mill, Wigwell Grange, the Red Lion Hotel, Gate House and the former grammar school) are Grade II*. Wirksworth Heritage Centre is just off Market Place in Crown Yard. The exhibition shows the history of Wirksworth from its prehistoric Dream Cave and woolly rhinos, through its Roman and lead mining histories, to the modern era. Other nearby attractions include the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, the Steeple Grange Light Railway and Peak District National Park. The study Wirksworth and Five Miles Around includes census information, notes on church monuments, accounts of crimes, church wardens' accounts, maps, a transcription of Ince's pedigrees, monument inscriptions and old photographs, parish registers and wills.
( Wirksworth - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Wirksworth . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Wirksworth - UK
