Austerlands Manchester Map

About Austerlands

Austerlands surveys the undulating Pennine landscape with a quiet resilience. It lies 1.5 km north-east of Lees (from Lees: bearing 53°T, OS grid SD 964 054), and is situated south-south-west of Scouthead village. The houses of Austerlands, many of them sturdy stone dwellings, seem to absorb the pale, often diffused light that filters across the moorland, their rooftops a muted harmony against the sweeping greens and browns. A sense of its past, perhaps tied to the woollen mills that once hummed in the surrounding valleys, lingers in the air, a subtle echo of industry that has softened into the present. The sky above Austerlands often feels vast and expressive, a canvas for the shifting moods of the North West, and the wind, when it blows from the higher ground, carries the clean, sharp scent of open country. There is a gentle stillness here, a feeling of enduring solidity that anchors Austerlands against the broader currents of time.
