Ashleyhay, a quiet hamlet within Derbyshire's Amber Valley, breathes the very air of the East Midlands. It lies 2.9 km south-south-east of Wirksworth (from Wirksworth: bearing 166°T, OS grid SK 293 512), and is situated north-north-east of Idridgehay village. The land hereabouts, a gentle swell of green fields, often catches the low sun in a way that imbues the scattered stone cottages with a fleeting, golden grace. A sense of enduring quietude pervades Ashleyhay, as if the very stones remember the slow turning of seasons and the passage of generations who worked this soil. The nearest significant landmark, the ancient parish church at Wirksworth, offers a distant echo of a grander past, while Ashleyhay itself remains a more humble, yet no less profound, testament to rural continuity.
