Chinley is a village in the borough of High Peak, Derbyshire, England, set in the foothills of the Peak District between Chapel-en-le-Frith and Buxworth. Nestled in a narrow valley with nearby reservoirs and open moorland, it’s popular with walkers and cyclists and lies within comfortable commuting distance of Buxton and Manchester.
Historically the village grew during the Victorian era as an important railway junction, and the station still serves the locality, shaping its development. Today Chinley is largely residential with local shops, pubs and small businesses; a close-knit community, active parish groups and good transport links make it both a practical base for commuters and an attractive spot for people seeking easy access to the national park.
