Chapel-en-le-Frith is a market town in the borough of High Peak, Derbyshire, England, often described as the "Capital of the Peak". Its name literally means "chapel in the forest" and the town has medieval origins with a compact stone-built high street, some Georgian architecture and a long history as a focal point for the surrounding upland communities.
Set on the edge of the Peak District, the town is popular with walkers and day-trippers and sits within easy reach of Buxton and commuting routes towards Manchester. Historically tied to textiles and limestone quarrying, today's economy is a mix of local services, small industry and a commuter population, and the town retains an active community life with markets, local clubs and countryside events.
