Whiston Staffordshire Map

About Whiston

Whiston rests within the undulating terrain of the Staffordshire Moorlands, a place where the sky often feels vast and close. It lies 4.9 km north-north-east of Cheadle (from Cheadle: bearing 33°T, OS grid SK 037 471), and is situated south-south-east of Foxt village. The quiet lanes of Whiston, often softened by the morning mist, wind through fields that have been worked for generations, their hedgerows a riot of hawthorn and elder. Little evidence remains of any grand industrial past, but the subtle rise and fall of the land suggests a history of farming and perhaps of small-scale quarrying, the stone from which local walls are built carrying the faint scent of damp earth. The air here often carries the distant bleating of sheep, a sound that seems to underscore the deep quietude of Whiston.
