Brimington is a large village and suburb just to the east of Chesterfield in Derbyshire, England, sitting close to the River Rother and within easy reach of the Peak District. It feels like a distinct community rather than just a suburb, with a compact centre of local shops, schools and a parish church, while Chesterfield’s town centre and its famous spire lie only a short drive away.
Historically the settlement expanded during the 19th‑century industrial era and retains that mixed character today - a blend of older terraces, post‑war housing and pockets of light industry - and many residents commute into nearby towns. Community life is active with local clubs, pubs and events that reflect the village’s working‑class roots, and the surrounding countryside makes it popular for outdoor walks and weekend trips.
