Map of the UK

Middleton is a small, rural parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, sitting amid the rolling limestone countryside on the edge of the Peak District. The settlement is characterised by stone-built cottages, a parish church and a landscape shaped by traditional dry-stone walls and old lead-mining workings; its lanes and footpaths make it popular with walkers seeking quieter routes away from busier tourist centres.

Historically the local economy centred on farming and small-scale mining, and today that heritage survives alongside a modest tourism and commuting presence to nearby market towns. Community life is typically close-knit, with local events and conservation efforts aimed at preserving the parish’s historic buildings and rural character.
