King Sterndale is a small, rural village and parish in the High Peak district of Derbyshire, on the northern fringe of the Peak District a few miles south of Buxton in England. It sits on limestone country of drystone walls, grazing pasture and scattered stone-built cottages, making it popular with walkers who enjoy the quiet lanes, open views and the patchwork of traditional farmland.
The community is small and largely agricultural, with many residents working locally or commuting to nearby towns; historically local quarries and lime-burning shaped the economy and landscape. There are also traces of prehistoric activity in the surrounding hills and the village name hints at medieval manorial connections, while village life remains centred on the church, a village hall and a close‑knit rural character prized by locals and visitors alike.
