About

Stone Bench ward covers a large rural area in the northern part of the High Peak. The landscape is defined by high moorland, gritstone edges, and scattered farmsteads. Settlements here are small and include the villages of Hayfield and Little Hayfield, which sit at the foot of the Kinder Scout plateau. The local economy has historical roots in textiles and quarrying, though it now also supports tourism and agriculture.

The area is a major gateway to the Peak District National Park, with numerous footpaths leading directly into the open countryside. A network of reservoirs, constructed to supply water to the surrounding towns, shapes the valleys. The annual Hayfield Sheep Dog Trials are a longstanding local event that reflects its agricultural character. Transport links follow the main roads through the valleys, connecting to Glossop and New Mills.
