About Littlemoor

Littlemoor sighs with the quiet breath of the Derbyshire hills, a place where the sky seems to stretch wider. It lies 2.9 km west of Clay Cross (from Clay Cross: bearing 262°T, OS grid SK 362 629), and is situated south of Alton village. The land here falls away gently, softening the edges of the landscape, and the stone cottages of Littlemoor seem to have grown organically from the earth, their walls holding the cool dampness of the frequent rain. The air often carries the scent of damp soil and distant woodsmoke, a comforting perfume that speaks of a life lived close to the elements. Here, the quiet lanes wind through fields that are a patchwork of deep green and rich brown, a scene that feels ancient and enduring. The quality of light, particularly in the late afternoon, can cast a golden hue over the stone, making Littlemoor appear as if it’s bathed in a fleeting, precious glow before the shadows lengthen.
