Alderwasley is a small rural parish in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, set on the eastern fringe of the Peak District. The landscape is a mix of rolling farmland, wooded valleys and upland moor fringes, giving good access to walking and outdoor pursuits while remaining within easy reach of towns such as Belper and Wirksworth.
Historically the area has been shaped by country estates and the upland mining and farming economy typical of Derbyshire, and the local estate at Alderwasley Hall (now notable for its specialist school) remains a prominent presence and employer. Today the parish retains a quiet, close‑knit community character with a strong rural identity and interest in heritage and outdoor recreation.
