About Middleton

Middleton, a quiet hamlet in the Derbyshire Dales, exhales a breath of ancient, settled calm. It lies 5.8 km south-south-west of Bakewell (from Bakewell: bearing 202°T, OS grid SK 195 631), and is situated south-west of Youlgreave village. Here, the rolling limestone landscape, a canvas of greens and golds under a wide, changeable sky, lends a profound stillness to the air. The stone cottages, weathered by centuries of wind and rain, seem to grow organically from the very earth, their roofs a gentle mosaic against the deepening blue of the heavens. A particular beauty resides in the way the late afternoon sun, when it deigns to appear, casts long, honeyed shadows across the modest village green, illuminating the fine texture of its well-trodden grass. The surrounding fields, marked by drystone walls that snake across the hillsides like patient, grey serpents, speak of a long and quiet husbandry.
