Fenny Bentley is a small rural village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, sitting on the edge of the Peak District. The name recalls the fen‑land that once characterised the site; today the parish is a cluster of traditional stone cottages, farms and a historic parish church set amid rolling limestone countryside and valley streams.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, with sheep and arable farms, though easy access to walking routes and valley scenery such as the nearby River Dove and beauty spots around Dovedale brings modest tourism; many residents commute to the nearby market town of Ashbourne. Socially the village retains a quiet, close‑knit feel, with community activities and local heritage forming the backbone of village life.
