Okeover Staffordshire Map

About Okeover

Okeover rests in a gentle fold of East Staffordshire, a hamlet where the land itself seems to exhale a quiet contentment. It lies 2.7 km north-west of Ashbourne (from Ashbourne: bearing 305°T, OS grid SK 158 482), and is situated west-north-west of Mapleton village. The air here, especially on a clear morning, holds a particular clarity, as if filtered through the ancient oaks that still guard the approaches to Okeover. The surrounding fields, a patchwork of greens and golds depending on the season, are stitched together by dry stone walls, their grey stone weathered to a soft, moss-kissed hue. Little Okeover Hall, though not a grand edifice, presides with a quiet dignity, its brickwork softened by the passage of years and the dappled sunlight filtering through its mature trees. Here, the pace of life is measured by the slow drift of clouds and the murmur of the nearby River Dove, a constant, soothing companion to this tranquil corner of England.
