Blackwell in the Peak is a small rural parish tucked into the rolling limestone and gritstone hills of the Derbyshire Dales on the edge of the Peak District in Derbyshire, England. The surrounding landscape is classic Peak scenery - dales, dry-stone walls, narrow lanes for walkers and cyclists and sweeping views that attract outdoor enthusiasts as well as supporting traditional sheep and cattle farming.
The community is small and village‑focused, with an economy rooted in agriculture and modest tourism from walking, cycling and heritage interest; historic cottages and traces of past lead‑mining and small‑scale rural industry are still evident. Social life tends to revolve around local amenities and seasonal events, reflecting the quieter, conservation‑minded character of the national park fringes.
