Pleasley Derbyshire Map

About Pleasley

Pleasley rests in Derbyshire, a place where the gentle Derbyshire Dales begin to yield to the flatter expanse of the East Midlands. It lies 3.7 km west-north-west of Mansfield Woodhouse (from Mansfield Woodhouse: bearing 284°T, OS grid SK 503 642), and is situated south-south-east of New Houghton village. The ancient parish church of St. Michael, with its weathered stone, stands as a quiet sentinel, its spire a familiar grace against the often soft, luminous skies that can paint the landscape with hues of silver and pale gold. The nearby River Meden, a subtle ribbon of water, has historically shaped the land and its fortunes, its presence a quiet murmur in the surrounding fields. Once, the hum of industry, particularly coal mining, echoed through this locale, a testament to the hardier spirit of its inhabitants. Today, though the mines are silent, a sense of enduring character remains, a dignity borne of generations who have called Pleasley home.
