Flat-iron Cottage sits on a hillside overlooking Wirksworth to the hills beyond, approximately 20 minutes gentle strolling from the town centre and a 15 minute stroll from Saddler's Cottage.

A single bedroomed, extremely quaint, triangular cottage arranged over three storeys it sleeps 2. The nearest pub is about ¾ mile away. All other services (and several more pubs!) are available in the town centre.

Warning: this cottage has low ceilings!

The cottage is just 5 minutes walk or pedal from the High Peak Trail, the first disused railway to be converted into a public bridleway in Derbyshire. The trail now links to the Tissington trail and various other green lanes and tracks giving great access to the wonderful Derbyshire countryside.
