Ballidon is a small, quiet parish in the Derbyshire Dales of Derbyshire, England, sitting on the eastern fringe of the Peak District National Park. The landscape is classic White Peak country - limestone plateaus, dry-stone walls and pastoral fields - with wide views and a rural pattern of farms and lanes; it lies not far from the waters and recreation around Carsington Reservoir.
Historically the area has a farming heart and the remains of old lead-mining and limeworking can still be picked out in the surrounding dales, while modest quarrying and rural enterprise continue to shape the local economy. With a small population and scattered hamlets, life is quiet but geared to outdoor visitors and walkers, and the parish retains a strong sense of local history and countryside community.
