After the River Dove abandons the cascades of the Derbyshire Dales, it winds langourously through the fertile flatlands between Burton upon Trent and Derby. The area has a pastoral beauty scarcely known and barely touched by modern times.

 

Rolleston on Dove is the quintessential Old English village complete with thatched cottages and a babbling brook, The Dove no less, running through it.

 

This is the setting for The Brookhouse, standing in a beautiful country garden. North of Burton-On-Trent, just off the A38/A50.
