Brassington is a small limestone village in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, sitting on the eastern edge of the Peak District and a short drive from Carsington Water. Its setting on the White Peak gives it rolling limestone scenery, good walking country and easy access to nearby market towns.
Historically the area was shaped by lead and barytes mining, and that industrial past sits alongside traditional farming; today the village is best known for its honey‑coloured stone houses, a compact village community and small local businesses catering to residents and visitors who come for walking, cycling and quiet rural life. Local events and the village scale give it a strong community feel rather than a tourist hotspot.
