Newton Grange is a very small, largely rural civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire in England, characterised by scattered farms, stone-built cottages and the rolling limestone and gritstone scenery on the fringes of the Peak District. The landscape is criss-crossed by footpaths and bridleways, making it popular with walkers and cyclists seeking a quieter, more agricultural side of the dales.
Farming remains the mainstay of the local economy, with a mix of livestock and arable holdings and a number of historic farm buildings and field barns that reflect the area’s long rural history. Social life is modest and closely tied to neighbouring villages and market towns for services and events, while a small contribution from tourism - holiday lets and day visitors - helps support local enterprises and preserves the parish’s tranquil character.
