The ward of Blackbrook sits within the borough of High Peak in Derbyshire, England. It occupies a mix of suburban and semi-rural landscape on the edge of the Pennines, with easy access to the Peak District and surrounding moorland, and benefits from rolling terrain and small pockets of green space.
Locally the area has a strong residential character with a mix of housing, local shops and schools and is represented on High Peak Borough Council. Economically residents look to nearby towns and cities for work - many commute to larger employment centres such as Manchester - and the ward shares the wider High Peak heritage of 19th‑century industry and transport, visible in surviving stone buildings and canal and railway infrastructure in the district.
