Great Longstone Derbyshire Map

About Great Longstone

Great Longstone rests against the rolling Derbyshire Dales, a scatter of stone houses catching the prevailing light. It lies 3.6 km north-north-west of Bakewell (from Bakewell: bearing 335°T, OS grid SK 202 716), and is situated east of Little Longstone village. The air here, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant sheep, often holds a quiet stillness, broken only by the bleating of lambs or the rustle of wind through the ancient hedgerows. Its buildings, fashioned from the pale, local gritstone, seem to absorb the very essence of the surrounding landscape, their roofs a mosaic of weathered slate and moss. The land around Great Longstone, part of the Peak District National Park, breathes a wilder beauty, its contours shaped by millennia of wind and rain. A sense of enduring peace pervades Great Longstone, a place where the pace of life feels as measured as the slow drift of clouds across an expansive sky.
