Barms is a ward within the borough of High Peak in Derbyshire, sitting close to the western edge of the Peak District. The area combines suburban streets and pockets of countryside, with the rolling moorland and gritstone scenery that characterise this part of the county giving easy access to walking and cycling routes.
Locally the community has a mixed, generally commuter-oriented economy alongside small shops, schools and active community groups; historically the wider High Peak area was shaped by quarrying and textile and mill activity, traces of which remain in the built environment and local traditions. Residents value the balance of village-scale social life and quick links into nearby urban centres for work and leisure.
