Overton West Yorkshire Map

About Overton

Overton breathes the quiet air of West Yorkshire, a place where fields stretch under a broad sky. It lies 3.8 km west-south-west of Horbury (from Horbury: bearing 246°T, OS grid SE 259 168), and is situated west-south-west of Middlestown village. The land around Overton rolls with a gentle, agrarian grace, hinting at centuries of cultivation under the same sun that warms the lichen on old stone walls. Though its industrial past has softened, the echoes remain in the sturdy brickwork of former outbuildings, now repurposed, their windows reflecting the ever-changing light. A sense of enduring quietude pervades Overton, a stillness often broken only by the distant hum of traffic or the call of a curlew across the open countryside. Here, the rhythm is dictated not by clocks, but by the seasons and the enduring nature of the soil.
