The village and civil parish of Aston sits in the rural part of High Peak, Derbyshire, on the edge of the Peak District. It’s a small, quiet parish of stone cottages, farms and rolling limestone and gritstone countryside popular with walkers; the landscape reflects traditional upland agriculture and traces of past quarrying and lead‑mining activity.
Locally the community centres on a handful of homes and farmsteads rather than a large centre, and residents look to nearby market towns such as Buxton or Chapel-en-le-Frith for services. The parish attracts visitors for peaceful rural walks and proximity to classic Peak District scenery, while retaining strong local ties and seasonal farming rhythms.
