Rowarth, a quiet collection of dwellings, exhales the cool, damp air of the High Peak. It lies 3.7 km north-north-east of New Mills (from New Mills: bearing 17°T, OS grid SK 011 890), and is situated north of Thornsett village. The land hereabouts rises, the gritstone edges a constant, watchful presence against the sky, and the faint scent of peat often drifts on the breeze. The scattered cottages of Rowarth seem to hunker down against the sweeping expanse of the moors, their stone walls absorbing the muted tones of the Derbyshire light. A shallow stream, whispering over rounded pebbles, traces its patient course through the landscape, a silver thread in the green and brown weave of the hills. This is a place where the wider world feels distant, where the enduring silence is broken only by the bleating of sheep and the sigh of the wind.
