Yeldersley is a small, largely rural civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, a short distance from the market town of Ashbourne and the gentler fringes of the Peak District. The landscape is typical of the area: rolling farmland, hedged fields, stone-built farmsteads and quiet lanes, with a scattering of country houses and cottages set amid small woodlands.
Historically agricultural with roots stretching back centuries, the parish retains a modest population and few amenities; farming, equestrian enterprises and occasional rural tourism underpin the local economy while many residents commute to nearby towns. It’s a place valued for its tranquillity, attractive footpaths and a handful of listed buildings that reflect its long local history.
