Holbrook is a village and civil parish in the district of Amber Valley, Derbyshire, England. Lying on the fringe of the Derwent Valley and within easy reach of the Peak District, it has a distinctly rural feel with stone cottages, farmland and rolling hills; the nearby town of Belper and the historic Derwent Valley Mills influence the area’s character and provide local amenities and links to the region’s industrial past.
Today the parish is largely residential with some agriculture and small local businesses, and many people commute to surrounding towns. Community life centres on the village pub, church and hall, with walking routes and countryside views making it attractive to those who enjoy outdoor pursuits and a quieter pace of life.
