About Clifton

Clifton, a quiet hamlet in the Derbyshire Dales, breathes the gentle air of the East Midlands. It lies 2.3 km south-west of Ashbourne (from Ashbourne: bearing 217°T, OS grid SK 167 449), and is situated south-south-east of Hangingbridge village. The surrounding landscape, a tapestry of rolling pastures and ancient hedgerows, catches the soft, diffused light that often graces this part of England, lending a certain luminous quality to the fields. The houses of Clifton, built of local stone that seems to absorb the very colour of the earth, cluster around a modest green, where the shadows lengthen in the late afternoon sun. A small stream, perhaps no more than a murmuring presence, winds its way through the parish, its waters reflecting the passing clouds. The quietude here is profound, a balm to the hurried spirit, carrying the faint scent of damp soil and distant woodsmoke.
