Kniveton is a small village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, lying on the limestone fringes of the Peak District. It sits amid rolling dales and quiet lanes popular with walkers, and is within easy reach of Ashbourne and outdoor attractions such as Carsington Water, giving the area a mix of tranquillity and easy access to larger market towns.
The settlement retains a distinctly historic, rural character: stone cottages, a medieval parish church and a handful of listed buildings hint at former manorial connections, while the local economy remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting further afield. Community life is typical of a small Derbyshire village, focused around the church, village hall and seasonal events that reflect a strong local identity.
