About Upper Hulme

Upper Hulme, a hamlet of quietude, breathes the bracing air of the Staffordshire Moorlands. It lies 5.1 km north-north-east of Leek (from Leek: bearing 31°T, OS grid SK 012 608), and is situated north-north-east of Blackshaw Moor village. The surrounding landscape, a mosaic of heather-clad moorland and patchwork fields, often catches the sun in fleeting, golden moments, lending a luminous quality to the ancient stone of its few dwellings. The nearby River Dane murmurs its ceaseless song, a thread of silver through the green expanse, its waters reflecting the vast, often dramatic skies that sweep over this elevated terrain. Historically, Upper Hulme’s existence was tied to the hardy pursuits of farming and the occasional quarrying of local gritstone, a testament to the resilience of those who made their homes here. The very air seems to carry the faint, lingering scent of peat and damp earth, a constant reminder of the wild beauty that cradles this remote corner of England.
