Getting to Winster Village

Getting to Winster is easy. We’re pretty much right in the middle of the UK!

Woolley’s Yard is in the centre of the village (which must make it the centre of the world!). If you’re coming from Matlock, passing the primary school on the left, Woolley’s Yard is on the left just past the shop.

Coming from Bakewell, Buxton, Ashbourne or Cromford (up the Via Gellia) Woolley’s Yard is half way through the village on the right hand side.
