Overton Staffordshire Map

About Overton

Overton rests in the Staffordshire Moorlands, a quiet corner where the land gently swells towards the sky. It lies 6.3 km south-east of Cheadle (from Cheadle: bearing 142°T, OS grid SK 049 381), and is situated south-south-west of Hollington village. Here, the hedgerows seem to hold the diffused light of the English countryside, casting long, soft shadows across fields that have known the plough for generations. The air in Overton carries a faint scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a subtle perfume of rural existence. Its few houses, built of local stone, appear to have grown organically from the landscape, their roofs softened by moss and the passage of years. Overton is a place where the passing of time feels measured not by clocks, but by the turning of seasons and the quiet persistence of the natural world.
