Higham Derbyshire Map

About Higham

Higham rests, a quiet presence in the North East Derbyshire landscape. It lies 3.8 km north-north-west of Alfreton (from Alfreton: bearing 327°T, OS grid SK 390 589), and is situated west-north-west of Shirland village. The gentle slopes that cradle Higham often catch the low afternoon sun, bathing the fields in a soft, honeyed light, hinting at the rich agricultural past that shaped its contours. Though no grand abbey or castle dominates its skyline, the modest stone of its older dwellings seems to absorb the very essence of the surrounding Derbyshire Dales, a quiet testament to generations who have called this place home. The air here carries a certain stillness, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the murmur of wind through the hedgerows, a subtle melody of the East Midlands.
