Duckmanton is a small village on the south‑eastern edge of Chesterfield in Derbyshire, England, sitting amid gently rolling farmland with views that stretch towards the Pennines and the nearby Peak District. It occupies a rural‑urban fringe location so you get a mix of quiet village life and easy access to town services, while footpaths and lanes make it a pleasant spot for walking and countryside recreation.

Historically the area had strong links to coal mining and the rail network - the nearby Duckmanton railway junction was once important for freight movements - and remnants of that industrial past sit alongside modern housing. Today many residents commute to Chesterfield, Sheffield or Derby, and the village keeps a close‑knit feel with local clubs, a village hall and the kind of community events typical of small places near former industrial centres such as Staveley.
