Edlaston and Wyaston are a small, primarily rural civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales, Derbyshire, England, lying a few miles from the market town of Ashbourne on the western fringe of the Peak District. The area is defined by rolling farmland, narrow lanes and stone cottages, with pleasant walking country and long views rather than any urban centre; its character is very much that of a quiet agricultural landscape punctuated by historic buildings and traditional farmsteads.
There is a clear sense of local history - hamlets with medieval roots, a handful of listed buildings and a surviving parish identity - and the economy remains dominated by farming and small-scale rural enterprises. Socially the settlements tend to be close-knit, with community life centred on local events, village institutions and conservation interests that seek to preserve the tidy vernacular architecture and the peaceful countryside setting.
