Wheston is a small, high‑lying parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, set on the upland fringes of the Peak District National Park. The landscape is typical upland farmland - rolling moor and pasture divided by drystone walls and narrow lanes - making it attractive for walkers and offering broad views across the surrounding dales.
Historically and economically the area has been dominated by hill farming, and the parish still comprises a scattering of stone cottages and long‑established farmsteads; services are limited and the population is small, giving a quiet, close‑knit community with a strong sense of local history and landscape conservation.
