Clifton and Compton lie in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, set on the gentle limestone fringe of the Peak District. The landscape is typically dalesy, with rolling fields, drystone walls and pockets of woodland, making it a quiet spot for walkers and anyone who enjoys rural scenery.
The villages have long histories reflected in stone houses and old parish churches, and the local economy still has a strong agricultural element alongside commuters who work in nearby market towns such as Ashbourne or Derby.
