Pilsley is a small estate village in the Derbyshire Dales of Derbyshire, England, lying close to the grand parkland of Chatsworth and within easy reach of the Peak District. Its stone cottages, narrow lanes and sweeping views into the Wye valley reflect a long association with the Chatsworth estate, so the village feels like a neat example of an English model village shaped by 18th- and 19th-century estate improvement and conservation efforts.

Today Pilsley mixes quiet rural life with the practical realities of tourism and estate employment: many residents work for local farms, the Chatsworth estate or in visitor services, and footpaths and cycle routes radiate from the village for walkers exploring the wider Peak District. The combination of historic architecture, estate-managed landscape and a small, active community gives it a distinctive cultural and social character despite its modest size.
