Windmill Derbyshire Map

About Windmill

Windmill, a quiet hamlet, seems to hold its breath against the wide Derbyshire sky. It lies 10.5 km north-north-west of Bakewell (from Bakewell: bearing 334°T, OS grid SK 170 778), and is situated west of Great Hucklow village. The land here, part of the Peak District National Park, slopes with a gentle resilience, its fields etched by ancient drystone walls that speak of patient labour. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-brooding clouds, has a peculiar luminescence on the limestone outcrops, catching the subtle grey-green of the hardy grasses. The houses of Windmill, built from the same local stone, seem to emerge organically from the earth, their roofs moss-kissed and their windows reflecting the vast, ever-changing canvas above. There is a sense of enduring quietude in Windmill, a place where the wind itself seems to carry whispers of generations past.
