Rowsley is a small rural parish in the Derbyshire Dales of Derbyshire, England, set beside the River Derwent on the western edge of the Peak District. It sits on the old A6 corridor between Matlock and Bakewell, making it a handy base for walkers and visitors exploring nearby country estates such as Chatsworth and the National Park.
The area has a strong Victorian and railway heritage - a substantial station and yards once handled local industry and freight, and the preserved Peak Rail presence keeps that history alive. Local life mixes farming with tourism: holiday accommodation, cafés and riverside walks support the economy, while a small, engaged community maintains historic buildings and outdoor events that draw visitors throughout the year.
