Great Longstone is a small village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, set on limestone country at the edge of the Peak District. It sits close to classic dales such as Monsal Dale and Lathkill Dale, with the scarred ridge of Longstone Edge nearby; the combination of dry‑stone walls, limestone outcrops and a history of lead and stone workings gives the area a distinctive, rugged feel.
Today the local economy mixes hill farming with tourism and some commuters to nearby market towns like Bakewell. Walkers and cyclists use the Monsal Trail and nearby footpaths, while the village keeps a lively community life around its village hall, primary school and parish church, and a stock of traditional stone cottages that hint at its long history.
