Population:3,037

The village and civil parish of Blackwell lies in the district of Bolsover in Derbyshire, England, set amid rolling farmland and small belts of woodland. Its setting on the eastern side of the county means the Peak District and market towns such as Chesterfield are within easy reach, giving a mix of rural character and accessible amenities.

Historically the area has strong links to coal mining, and that heritage can still be seen in the housing patterns and local memory, but today Blackwell functions largely as a residential and commuter community with local shops, a village hall and pubs that sustain an active social life. Small local businesses and surrounding agricultural land remain part of the economy, while nearby historic sites in the Bolsover district draw occasional visitors and add to the area's sense of place.
