Tideswell is a large village in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, sitting on the limestone fringe of the Peak District. The surrounding landscape of dales, dry stone walls and farmland gives it a characteristic Peak setting, and the village itself is dominated by traditional stone buildings and narrow streets that reflect a long rural history with past connections to lead mining and agriculture.

Locally notable features include St John the Baptist Church, often called the "Cathedral of the Peak" for its impressive medieval fabric, and nearby show-cave Tideswell Cavern, both drawing visitors. The village has a strong community atmosphere, supported by independent shops, cafes and pubs, and its economy today combines farming with local services and tourism - it’s a popular base for walkers exploring the surrounding countryside.
