Upper Biggin, Derbyshire Weather
About Upper Biggin, Derbyshire
Upper Biggin maintains a quiet stillness, defined by the limestone ridges that catch the pale, thinning light of the Derbyshire Dales. It lies 4.2 miles south-south-west of Wirksworth (from Wirksworth: bearing 208°T, OS grid SK 254 480), and is situated north-north-west of Hulland Ward village. The horizon here is broken by the sharp, persistent rise of The Mountain to the north-east, a landmark that commands the surrounding fields and dictates the movement of the wind. Below the slopes, the land retains the memory of older, more laborious centuries in the form of the Duncote Farm Moated Site, where the earth holds a dark and heavy silence. Biggin Brook meanders through the lower pastures, its water cutting a narrow, insistent path that reflects the grey-blue sky of the East Midlands. This landscape does not offer itself easily to the casual observer, requiring a steady eye to discern the subtle shifts in topography that define the local character. Upper Biggin remains a place of austere permanence, where the stone walls and open fields speak only of the slow, indifferent passage of the seasons.
