Ault Hucknall is a rural ward in Bolsover, Derbyshire, England, sitting on the eastern fringe of the Peak District close to Chesterfield. It comprises small villages and hamlets surrounded by rolling farmland and estate parkland, with stone cottages, lanes and hedgerows defining the local landscape rather than anything urban.
The area is best known for the Elizabethan house Hardwick Hall, now cared for by the National Trust, and the nearby village of Stainsby, home to a long-running folk festival; these historic and cultural attractions complement a largely agricultural economy and a commuter population who travel to nearby towns. There are echoes of the wider district’s industrial past, but the ward largely retains a quiet, historic character popular with walkers and local history enthusiasts.
