Darley Dale is a compact market town in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, sitting on the edge of the Peak District beside the River Derwent and the A6. It neighbours Matlock and includes smaller communities such as Two Dales, with the 19th‑century landmark Riber Castle and a preserved station on the Peak Rail heritage line visible from the valley.
Historically the town grew in the 1800s with coaching routes, the railway and local quarrying and lead‑mining industries; today it combines quiet residential streets and light industry with a modest tourist trade for walkers and heritage enthusiasts. There’s a lively local community scene, small independent shops and clubs, and the setting makes it a popular base for exploring the Derwent Valley and the Peak District countryside.
