Aston Derbyshire Map

About Aston

Aston, a quiet hamlet in the High Peak, breathes the cool, clear air of the Derbyshire Dales. It lies 12.9 km east-north-east of Chapel-en-le-Frith (from Chapel-en-le-Frith: bearing 76°T, OS grid SK 185 839), and is situated west-north-west of Thornhill village. The land around Aston rises gently, offering broad vistas where the sky seems to press down with a benevolent weight, and the distant hills are etched in shades of heather and peat. Here, in this corner of the East Midlands, the stone walls that delineate fields seem to possess an ancient patience, their grey surfaces softened by lichen and moss. The very stillness of Aston speaks of a life lived in harmony with the land, where the passage of seasons dictates the rhythm of days. A scattering of dwellings, their roofs often dark slate, huddle together as if for warmth against the wide Derbyshire sky.
