About The Raikes
The Raikes lies in the Staffordshire Moorlands, a quiet breath of settlement upon the cusp of wilder lands. It lies 13.2 km south-west of Bakewell (from Bakewell: bearing 229°T, OS grid SK 118 596), and is situated south-east of Sheen village. Here, the ancient bones of the earth rise gently, their contours softened by a patient, often mist-laden sky, and the air itself seems to hold the faint, enduring scent of peat and damp stone. The Raikes, though small, possesses a certain grounded gravity, as if the very soil it rests upon remembers the slow passage of seasons and the quiet toiling of generations. A visitor might notice the way the light falls, even on a grey day, a diffused luminescence that seems to reveal the subtle textures of the rough-hewn walls and the hardy, wind-bent trees that guard the lanes.
