Gratton is a small rural parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England. Set among rolling pasture and limestone field walls, it has the familiar pattern of stone-built farmhouses, narrow lanes and open views that attract walkers and people seeking quiet countryside; it sits within easy reach of the Peak District, which adds to its appeal for day visitors and outdoor recreation.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the parish retains a close-knit community feel with local events and small businesses alongside farms. Farming remains important to the local economy, complemented by modest tourism and commuters using nearby market towns, while old field patterns and traditional buildings give the area a tangible sense of history and place.
