Dunston Derbyshire Map

About Dunston

Dunston, a quiet corner of Derbyshire's Chesterfield district, wears the muted greens of the East Midlands landscape like a well-worn coat. It lies 3.1 km north-north-west of Chesterfield (from Chesterfield: bearing 335°T, OS grid SK 368 739), and is situated east-south-east of Barlow village. Though its origins are modest, a scattering of cottages that drew breath from the surrounding fields, Dunston now hums with a gentle suburban life, the distant rumble of traffic a faint counterpoint to the chirping of sparrows in the hedgerows. The air here, especially on a damp morning, carries a clean, earthy scent, hinting at the fertile soil that has sustained generations. The light often falls with a soft, diffused quality, softening the edges of brick and tile, and lending a quiet dignity to the ordinary streets.
