About Park Head

Park Head rises as a cluster of stone and slate upon the high, firm ground of the Amber Valley. It lies 3.4 miles west of Alfreton (from Alfreton: bearing 261°T, OS grid SK 357 548), and is situated north-east of Crich village. The horizon here is dominated by the looming, silent presence of Crich Stand, a stone beacon that watches over the undulating folds of the Derbyshire landscape like a sentinel of the clouds. Beneath this watchful eye, the earth carries the deep, resonant memory of industry, where the remnants of the Butterley Gangroad trace the ancient paths once worn by iron and coal. Light catches the sharp edges of the drystone walls that partition the fields, marking the boundaries of a terrain that has long demanded a rugged, stoic labour from its inhabitants. Park Head remains a place of hard-won clarity, where the air moves with a brisk, unhindered purpose across the open ridges. Visitors find themselves walking through a geography defined by the grit of the past, where the shadow of the nearby medieval ruins at Wingfield Manor adds a heavy, historical gravity to the quietude of the fields. Every lane and boundary fence acknowledges the weight of the land, grounding the spirit in a reality that is both ancient and enduringly present.
