Longnor is a compact, stone-built village and civil parish on the A515 between Buxton and Ashbourne, sitting on the southern fringe of the Peak District and within the rolling uplands of the Staffordshire Moorlands in Staffordshire. Perched on high ground, it offers wide views across moorland and limestone dales and is a popular base for walkers, cyclists and visitors exploring the national park countryside.
Historically a rural market settlement, Longnor retains a village centre of traditional cottages, a parish church, and a handful of inns and small businesses; the local economy still leans on farming and tourism, with many residents commuting to nearby towns. The community has a distinctly village feel, with local clubs, events and a strong sense of place that reflects its mix of agricultural roots and outdoor-activity visitors.
