Brassington is a small rural parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, set on the limestone plateau of the White Peak close to the edge of the Peak District. The landscape is characterful: dry‑stone walls, pastures and the scars of former limestone workings and lead‑mining give a distinct feel, and the village itself is made up of traditional stone houses clustered around a village green and historic features such as a market cross and a parish church.
Historically driven by mining and quarrying, the local economy today leans more towards agriculture, small local businesses and outdoor‑leisure visitors who come for walking and countryside pursuits. Community life remains active for a village its size, with local events and clubs sustaining a strong sense of place while being within easy reach of the wider attractions of the Peak District.
