About

Temple ward sits on the northern edge of the High Peak, bordering the Dark Peak's gritstone moors. The landscape is defined by high ground, with the ward encompassing parts of the high plateau around Blackshaw Moor. The area's character is strongly influenced by its elevated position, with exposed terrain and weather patterns that shape the local environment.

The settlement pattern is one of scattered farms and smaller communities rather than a single village centre. Land use is primarily agricultural, with sheep farming being common on the rough pasture. A very specific local landmark is the series of ancient stone crosses, like the one at Blackshaw Moor, which historically marked routes across this open moorland.
