About Combs

The quietude of Combs, a High Peak village, seems to hold the very breath of the surrounding landscape. It lies 2.9 km south-west of Chapel-en-le-Frith (from Chapel-en-le-Frith: bearing 219°T, OS grid SK 041 785), and is situated south-south-east of Tunstead Milton village. Here, the limestone uplands roll with a muted dignity, and the light, when it breaks through the often-brooding Derbyshire skies, possesses a peculiar, pale gold quality that softens the edges of the stone cottages and the ancient dry-stone walls. The local economy, once tied to the extraction of minerals from the earth's embrace, now finds its gentle pulse in the quietude of rural life, with a few hardy businesses serving both residents and the occasional visitor drawn by the stark beauty of the Peak District National Park. A sense of enduring resilience, rather than boisterous commerce, pervades Combs, a feeling that has perhaps been nurtured by the very winds that sweep across the open moors.
