Foston Derbyshire Map

About Foston

Foston, a quiet corner of South Derbyshire, dreams beneath the wide English sky. It lies 9.6 km east of Uttoxeter (from Uttoxeter: bearing 100°T, OS grid SK 186 318), and is situated north-north-west of Scropton village. The gentle rise and fall of the surrounding countryside, softened by hedgerows and the patient work of generations of farmers, lends a subtle, almost musical, quality to the landscape. Here, the air often carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and ripening crops, a testament to Foston's enduring connection with the land. The modest dwellings, some with gardens that spill their vibrant colours onto narrow lanes, seem to absorb the pale afternoon sunlight, turning it into a mellow glow. Foston's church, a stoic presence against the ever-changing heavens, stands as a quiet sentinel over the village's unhurried existence.
