The Location

The Lanes, Bolehill is an extremely sought after hamlet of homes enjoying an elevated position just a short distance from this popular town of Wirksworth. Black Rocks and the 17.5 mile long, traffic free, High Peak trail are less than 10 minutes walk from the door. Five minutes drive (better still, a walk across the fields!) takes you into Wirksworth which boasts an excellent butcher, eateries, chemist, independent shops, cafes and bars. The Library and Town Hall give access to many pursuits and the local cinema, with vintage bar and tapas is a must!
