About Upper Midway

Upper Midway claims a modest elevation upon the rugged, post-industrial heartland of the South Derbyshire coalfield. It lies 0.8 miles north of Swadlincote (from Swadlincote: bearing 1°T, OS grid SK 299 208). The light here catches the brickwork of modest terraces with a sharp, honest clarity, revealing a landscape that has traded the soot of the pit-head for the quiet reclamation of nature. Upper Midway finds itself deeply integrated into the expansive Swadlincote Woodlands Forest Park, where young saplings now stretch across land once dominated by the heavy industry of clay and coal. A short walk to the south-east leads to the Sandholes Open Space, a remnant of the earth’s rougher edges that provides a grassy vantage point over the local topography. The horizon is framed by the subtle rise of Moxon's Hill, a gentle reminder of the ancient, undulating ground that sustains the region. Residents often walk paths where the shadows of twentieth-century machinery have long since faded into the greenery of a repurposed countryside. This transition from extraction to environmental stewardship gives the air a crisp, reclaimed quality that feels distinct from the surrounding sprawl.
