Atlow is a small rural village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, set among rolling farmland on the edge of the Peak District National Park. The settlement comprises a handful of traditional stone cottages, farms and a small parish church, with limestone pastures and hedged fields that reflect the long-established agricultural character of the area; the market town of Ashbourne is the nearest local centre.
Farming has historically shaped life in Atlow, though today many residents commute to nearby towns while valuing a quiet village lifestyle; community life typically revolves around the church and village events. Its mix of listed farmsteads and rural lanes, together with easy access to Peak District walking country, makes it appealing to those who want countryside living within reach of regional amenities.
