Winster is a compact stone-built village tucked into the rolling limestone country of the Derbyshire Dales in Derbyshire, England, sitting on the fringe of the Peak District. Its narrow lanes and tightly packed 17th- and 18th-century houses give it a distinctly historic feel and the village core is notable as a well-preserved conservation area amid surrounding farmland and dales.

Historically linked to lead mining and local agriculture, Winster later prospered enough to leave a generous stock of period buildings; today the local economy is a mix of farming, tourism and people commuting to nearby towns. The village retains a strong community character with traditional events and village gatherings that celebrate its rural and historic identity.
