The village and civil parish of Chelmorton sits on a limestone plateau in the White Peak area of the Peak District, in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England. It is characterised by a long, raised village green lined with mellow stone cottages, drystone walls and panoramic views over rolling limestone pasture and distinctive pavement features.
Historically agricultural, the area retains a quiet rural community centred on sheep farming, walking and low‑key tourism, with local footpaths linking it to neighbouring dales. The compact settlement and surviving field patterns hint at a long settlement history, and while industry is limited the broader area bears traces of past lead‑mining; larger market towns such as Bakewell and Matlock are within easy reach.
