Kniveton is a small village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, sitting on the southern edge of the Peak District. Set in the White Peak’s limestone countryside, it has rolling pastures, dry-stone walls and easy access to attractive walking routes and lanes that draw countryside visitors.
The village has a compact core of historic stone buildings, including a long-standing parish church and former manor houses that reflect its agricultural past. Today the local economy is largely farming-based with some small-scale tourism and residential life; it retains a strong community feel and is popular with walkers and cyclists exploring the nearby dales and the market town of Ashbourne.
