Glapwell is a small village and civil parish in the district of Bolsover, Derbyshire, England, sitting in the old North Derbyshire coalfield between Chesterfield and Mansfield. It has a compact, village feel framed by farmland and pockets of post‑war housing, with straightforward road links to nearby market towns and the surrounding countryside.
Historically the community grew around coal mining and the now‑closed local colliery, and that industrial past still shapes the settlement’s character even as many residents commute further afield for work. Today Glapwell combines a quiet, close‑knit social life with small local businesses, village amenities and easy access to heritage attractions such as Bolsover Castle and the wider Derbyshire countryside.
