Cathy's Say
Wren's Nest is within walking distance of Wirksworth, a modest small town with narrow streets and a maze of interesting alleyways well work exploring. Lead mining was the basis of Wirksworth's past prosperity - which is portrayed at the highly acclaimed Heritage Centre. The lead miners used to live in a jumble of small Derbyshire cottages, built mostly of random stone extracted from nearby quarries, clinging to the hillside. In places it is possible to walk from the garden of one house onto the roof of another below.
