Killhope rests in a landscape that feels ancient and windswept, where the sky often stretches in vast, unbroken arcs. It lies 11.2 km east-south-east of Alston (from Alston: bearing 107°T, OS grid NY 824 431), and is situated south-west of Dirt Pot village. The very air here seems to carry the echo of lead mining, a history etched into the contours of the land and the hardy spirit of its inhabitants. The rough-hewn stone of older dwellings, softened by the passage of seasons, speaks of a quiet resilience against the elements. One can imagine the lowing of cattle on the surrounding fells, a sound that would have accompanied generations of life at Killhope.
