About Oldfurnace

Oldfurnace emerges from the rugged terrain of the Staffordshire Moorlands, where the earth holds the quiet memory of iron and flame. It lies 1.9 miles east of Cheadle (from Cheadle: bearing 81°T, OS grid SK 041 435), and is situated south-west of Oakamoor village. The landscape surrounding Oldfurnace carries a brittle, ancient quality, where the light catches the sandstone outcrops in brief, golden flashes during the late afternoon. To the west, the verdant basin of Lambskin Dale draws the eye, its slopes carved deep by the slow passage of water and wind. Eastward, the dense canopy of Threap Wood marks the transition toward the Churnet Valley, where the air grows heavier with the scent of damp moss and fern. Oldfurnace retains a solitary spirit, defined by the stark contrast between the industrial ghosts of its namesake and the wild, untamed growth of the nearby hills. The ground here remains uneven, marked by the echoes of former stone-working and the persistent, creeping return of the forest. Silence persists as the most enduring feature of the local horizon, interrupted only by the distant, rhythmic call of birds circling the valley rim.
