Around 2017 - I can’t remember when- I entered a Theo Paphitis SBS social media competition and won one Sunday - Agricola then became one of a small number of businesses lucky enough to be able to access free business support through the network
This is the only second time I have attended the annual event in Birmingham - but it won’t be the last ! It’s a great event celebrating small businesses

South Wingfield Railway station used to be a key station on the track between the North of England and London
Opened in the 1840s and ran until 1967 before falling into disrepair
After gaining grade 2* listed status and compulsory purchase from a private owner , since 2019 it has been restored with funding from the National lottery
Some of the original features are still there and they have managed to recreate the exact wallpaper in the ladies waiting room
A fascinating visit and well worth a trip from Wirksworth- quarry material was transported out of Wirksworth via this line

We wouldn’t leave our dog Nellie at home if we went on holiday- which is why Agricola house and our other holiday let Ridgeway- are both dog friendly

She’s loving the Peak District views followed by a gorgeous run off lead in a beech wood

This is the view from our other holiday let in Darley Dale Matlock
Really close to Chatsworth Haddon Hall Matlock and Bakewell
But secluded and rural with stunning views
A real get away in the Peak District
