Ashleyhay is a small, largely agricultural civil parish in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, England, sitting on the rural fringe of the Peak District. The area is typical Derbyshire upland - rolling pastures, dry‑stone walls, scattered farmsteads and quiet lanes popular with walkers, with occasional traces of old quarrying and historic field patterns in the landscape.
Historically shaped by farming and by the wider mining and industrial heritage of the region, the parish remains sparsely populated and dispersed rather than centred on a village. Its economy is still largely agricultural with some holiday lets and commuters who travel to nearby market towns such as Wirksworth, Belper or Matlock, and the community retains a quiet, rural character with local life often focused on neighbouring villages.
