The former lead-mining moorlands of the Peak District conjure up imagery of pastoral farms, hardworking miners, a ‘howling wilderness’ and a walker’s paradise. Yet, these images only present a particular ‘way of seeing’ the landscape. It is perhaps in the fragments of landscape that we can encounter the occluded practices and materialities of the rural Peak District landscape. This presentation argues that the rural landscape is a constellation (Benjamin 1974) of fragmentary practices made by the material and immaterial traces of the ruins abandoned, sites, and forgotten stories of the landscape (DeSilvey 2006, Gordillo 2014). I present these encounters and practices through a stitched together narrative of an alternative ‘everyday’ in this region. The landscape as constellation shifts the perspective towards the forgotten and repressed ‘underground’ fragments that constitute significant influences on the more overt components of the land-scape. The aim is thus to ‘attune’ myself to different ways of practicing the ruralities of landscape, outside of the dominant pastoral and labour narratives.
