Chapel-en-le-Frith is a historic parish town set on the edge of the Peak District in the borough of High Peak, Derbyshire, England. Founded in the medieval period as a chapel and hunting settlement, it earned the nickname "Capital of the Peak" and still shows that layered history in its Georgian and Victorian streets, market-place and stone-built cottages sitting below rolling gritstone moorland.
Today the parish combines a market-town feel with countryside access popular with walkers heading to nearby high moors such as Kinder Scout, while local shops, light industry and a commuter catchment towards towns like Buxton and cities further afield support the economy. Community life is lively with local clubs, annual events and a strong sense of place that balances conservation of its historic character with everyday rural living.
