A visit to the Hidden Gardens and Courtyards of Wirksworth today. The weather was forecast to be just as hot as it has been recently so I was prepared with a couple of litres of orange squash in my rucksack. With Wirksworth being a town there would be shops where I could buy sandwiches or snacks; there were also refreshments being served at several of the open gardens.
I arrived with nearly an hour before the gardens would be opening and so I wandered around the town and popped inside the church.
It was a long day with twenty five gardens which were open; I did quite a bit of walking around the hilly terrain and managed to visit twenty of them; there were three situated at quite a distance from the town centre up a steep hill which I decided not to visit and two gardens that were so well hidden I couldn't find them. At these open garden events the gardens are usually marked with brightly coloured balloons or bunting, but today it was just black arrows on white card.
