Whitwell is an electoral ward centred on the village of the same name in the district of Bolsover, Derbyshire, England. Set on the edge of the old Derbyshire coalfield, the area combines traditional stone-built streets and green spaces with easy access to surrounding countryside; it sits within commuting distance of larger centres such as Chesterfield and the recreational areas of the Peak District.
Historically rooted in mining and local industry, the ward has evolved into a mostly residential community with a mix of small shops, pubs and community facilities, plus active local clubs and annual events that keep village life lively. Economically many residents now work outside the ward while a sense of local identity remains strong, reflected in preserved buildings, parish activities and grassroots community projects.
