About Lee Head

Lee Head emerges from the high, undulating pastures of Derbyshire as a quiet gathering of stone dwellings that watch the horizon with an ancient, steady gaze. It lies 2.2 miles west-south-west of Glossop (from Glossop: bearing 243°T, OS grid SK 003 924), and is situated south-south-west of Charlesworth village. The light here possesses a particular clarity, catching the grey gritstone of the walls and turning them to the colour of a winter dove. Only a short walk away, the still surface of Mill Pond reflects the passing clouds, offering a mirror to the sky that seems to hold the silence of the surrounding moors. Further into the landscape, the weathered silhouette of the Robin Hood's Picking Rods marks the high ground, standing as a sentinel against the persistent winds that sweep across the uplands. Lee Head maintains a modest, rugged character, defined by the way the earth rises and falls in long, muscular swells toward the horizon. The nearby expanse of the Ludworth Intake SSSI provides a sanctuary for wild grasses and hardy flora, which shiver in the cool air of the Peak District. Life in Lee Head moves with the slow, deliberate pace of the seasons, indifferent to the clamour of the busier world beyond the hills.
