Yeaveley is a small, rural civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, sitting on the southern edge of the Peak District. The landscape is typical Derbyshire countryside of rolling limestone fields, dry-stone walls and quiet lanes, with a network of footpaths popular with walkers; the local economy is predominantly agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby market towns such as Ashbourne.
The parish has an interesting medieval connection through the former Knights Hospitaller preceptory at Yeaveley, and several historic farmhouses and listed buildings reflect its long rural history. Community life remains modest and village-focused, centred on the parish church and local events, while the scenic surroundings make it attractive to visitors seeking a peaceful base near the Peak District.
