About Upper Town
Upper Town surveys the Derbyshire Dales with a quiet dignity. It lies 5.6 km west-south-west of Wirksworth (from Wirksworth: bearing 246°T, OS grid SK 235 517), and is situated north of Hognaston village. Here, the sky often seems to hold a particular shade of grey, a soft, luminous veil that lends a gentle melancholy to the rolling landscape. The very air carries the faint, earthy perfume of damp soil and ancient stone, a scent that clings to the modest cottages and the few scattered fields. In the distance, the faint bleating of sheep might drift on the breeze, a sound as old as the hills themselves. Upper Town, though small, possesses a palpable sense of enduring quietude, a place where time itself seems to move with the slow, deliberate pace of the seasons.
