Chapel West is a ward within the borough of High Peak in Derbyshire, England, covering the western side of the small market town of Chapel-en-le-Frith and adjoining upland fringe of the Peak District. The landscape is typically Peak District fringe country - gritstone edges, moorland and broad valley views - so it feels rural despite being part of a town and offers easy access to walking and cycling routes into the national park.
The area combines a quiet residential feel with local shops, pubs and farming enterprises, alongside a modest tourist trade from walkers and visitors to the Peaks. Its market‑town heritage (the town’s name literally means “chapel in the forest”), good road and rail links towards Manchester and Buxton, and an active community that looks after conservation and local events all shape the ward’s character.
