Hilcote Derbyshire Map

About Hilcote

Hilcote, a quiet corner of Derbyshire, breathes a gentle air of rural repose. It lies 4.7 km east-north-east of Alfreton (from Alfreton: bearing 61°T, OS grid SK 451 580), and is situated north-north-east of South Normanton village. The landscape around Hilcote, a soft green quilt stitched with hedgerows, often catches the late afternoon sun in a way that lends a painterly glow to the fields. Though its origins are humble, perhaps as a small scattering of dwellings clustered for mutual support, Hilcote now finds its character shaped by the surrounding countryside, a place where the distant hum of industry is a faint whisper against the rustle of leaves. The sky above Hilcote, a vast canvas, frequently displays a spectrum of greys and blues, hinting at the capricious weather of the East Midlands.
