Map of the UK

Markham Vale is a sizeable business and industrial park on the former colliery lands of Markham Colliery, sitting on the edge of Chesterfield in north Derbyshire, England. Its location beside the M1 gives it strong road connections, and the site is a visible example of post‑industrial landscape on the outskirts of a traditional market town.

Redeveloped as an Enterprise Zone, Markham Vale now hosts logistics, manufacturing and distribution firms and has become a local employment and investment hub; the regeneration has also included landscaping and ecological improvements and created new walking and cycling routes, reflecting a shift from coal to commerce and community‑focused uses in the wider area.
