Barlborough is a semi-rural ward in the district of Bolsover, in Derbyshire, England, sitting close to the M1 and within easy reach of Sheffield and Chesterfield. The settlement has a pleasantly mixed character: a compact village core with a historic parish church and an old manor house, set against surrounding farmland and patches of post-industrial landscape that reflect the area's coalfield past.
Today it functions largely as a commuter and local-service community, with light industry and business parks nearby and a social life centred on village organisations, the local school and pubs. The combination of accessible transport links, historic buildings and a still-rural feel makes Barlborough a representative example of Derbyshire communities adapting from mining and agriculture towards residential and mixed-use economies.
