Clowne is a small town in the district of Bolsover, Derbyshire, England, lying on the eastern fringe of the county’s coalfield and within easy reach of the M1 and nearby towns such as Chesterfield and Mansfield. It sits amid gently rolling farmland with the Peak District a short drive to the west, giving a mix of rural character and good transport links.
Historically the community had strong links to coal mining, and the decline of that industry in the 20th century left Clowne to evolve into a largely residential and commuter settlement. Local life is marked by village amenities, sports clubs and community groups, and nearby attractions such as Bolsover Castle and other historic sites add to the town’s cultural and historic interest.
