Alton, a village within the Staffordshire Moorlands, finds its place amongst rolling fields. It lies 6.2 km east of Cheadle (from Cheadle: bearing 98°T, OS grid SK 072 422), and is situated west-north-west of Denstone village. The air here often carries the clean scent of damp earth and, in summer, the sweet perfume of wild hedgerows. Though small, Alton holds a certain quiet dignity, its stone cottages gathering around a modest green that seems to soak up the gentle afternoon sun. The surrounding landscape, a patchwork of fields crisscrossed by ancient dry-stone walls, offers a sense of enduring peace, a place where the sky feels vast and the distant calls of sheep are the loudest sounds.
