Wirksworth Walk of Wonder - Circular Walk with Glass Photo Ball Experience and Breathwork Session

Join Steph Walsh and Charlotte Marsh for a creative Wander Walk through Wirksworth and Bolehill, using a glass photo ball to see this unique landscape in new and unexpected ways.

"We’ll embark on a circular walk through Wirksworth & Bolehill, to see the world differently through a glass photo ball. The glass ball creates some fascinating visions and enables you to capture some truly amazing photos.

Wirksworth is a quirky, creative community town, often referred to as a ‘Gem of the Peak’ and ‘The Town that Time Forgot’. Steeped in history and shaped by the geology and quarried landscape, Wirksworth is a very special place. I grew up in Bolehill and went to school in Wirksworth, so there aren’t many jitties or gennels that I’m not familiar with!

We will meet in the town centre, I’ll give you a glass ball, a list of top tips and a convenient waist bag in which to carry them. I’ll chat a bit about the history of the town whilst walking through it, we’ll take photos of the historic buildings using the glass ball for creative effect. Then we’ll begin the ascent through fields to the little village of Bolehill, we’ll walk through the village then head back downhill, through an old quarry via The National Stone Centre to Wirksworth.

We will finish the walk with a breathwork session in Stoney Wood Community woodland at the StarDisc, an illuminated 21st century stone circle spanning 12 meters, carved into black granite is a star chart."
