Ribden Staffordshire Map

About Ribden

Ribden claims its place within the Staffordshire Moorlands, a quiet corner where the land begins to rise towards the wilder country. It lies 7.5 km east-north-east of Cheadle (from Cheadle: bearing 59°T, OS grid SK 075 469), and is situated south-south-east of Hoften's Cross village. The surrounding fields, often a rich loam under a sky that can shift from bruised grey to the clearest sapphire, lend a particular quietude to the air here, a stillness that seems to absorb the distant bleating of sheep. A subtle scent of damp earth and hedgerow blossoms often drifts through the lanes, carrying with it the faint murmur of the River Churnet, whose gentle course shapes the contours of the landscape. The modest dwellings of Ribden, many built from the local, warm-toned stone, seem to settle into the terrain as if they have always been a part of it, their roofs catching the afternoon sun with a soft, contented glow.
