Welcome to South Wingfield

South Wingfield is a small village located in the county of Derbyshire, England. The village is situated approximately 5 miles south of the town of Alfreton and 12 miles north of the city of Derby. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the 14th-century church of All Saints, which is a Grade I listed building. The church is known for its impressive tower, which stands at 128 feet tall and is visible from miles around.

The village of South Wingfield has a rich history, dating back to the 11th century. The village was originally owned by the de Wingfield family, who built a castle in the area. The castle was destroyed during the English Civil War, but the ruins can still be seen today. The village also played an important role in the Industrial Revolution, with several mills and factories being built in the area.

Today, South Wingfield is a quiet and peaceful village, with a population of around 1,000 people. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it a popular destination for walkers and cyclists. There are several pubs and restaurants in the area, serving traditional English food and drink.

Stoney Wood
We Visited Stoney Wood Whilst Staying In Wirksworth. Walkable From The Village Or Park Close By. This Place Is Part Of A Millennium Wood Planted In An Old Quarry. Great For A Short Walk To Stretch The Legs. Go Up The Steep Hill To Find The Star Disc At The Top. Dogs Can Run Free, Lots Of Space, Grass, Winding Tracks And Trees For Exploring And Sniffing. Seems Like A Local Dog Walking Spot. Lovely Views Over The Dale From The Top. Walk Into The Village Whilst You Are There And Walk Up To The Puzzle Gardens Area For Cute Lanes And Cottages. Your Dog Will Get Lots Of Exercise From The Hills!
