Barrow Hill is a small former mining village on the southern fringe of Chesterfield in north‑east Derbyshire, England. Lying alongside railway lines and within easy reach of the town and the Peak District, it combines suburban housing and light industry with ready access to nearby countryside.
The village is best known for the preserved Barrow Hill Roundhouse, a heritage railway centre that stages events and anchors local identity; the area also retains its coalfield legacy in the shape of former pit sites and a working industrial estate. Socially it remains a largely commuter and local‑services community with active clubs and occasional heritage‑led tourism linked to the rail and mining history.
