Ballidon Derbyshire Map

About Ballidon

Ballidon, a quiet hamlet in the Derbyshire Dales, offers a tranquil respite within the rolling East Midlands landscape. It lies 8.2 km north-north-east of Ashbourne (from Ashbourne: bearing 16°T, OS grid SK 203 546), and is situated east of Parwich village. The earth here, a rich loam, seems to hold the quietude of centuries, a subtle balm to the hurried spirit. The houses of Ballidon, built from the local grey limestone, possess a sturdy, unpretentious beauty, their roofs often softened by a dusting of moss or lichen. A palpable sense of stillness pervades the air, punctuated only by the distant bleating of sheep or the rustle of leaves in the ancient hedgerows that trace the contours of the fields. The light, particularly in the late afternoon, possesses a honeyed quality, bathing the modest dwellings and surrounding pastures in a gentle, golden hue.
