Sett is an electoral ward in the borough of High Peak, in Derbyshire, England, sitting on the western edge of the Peak District. The landscape is a mix of river valleys and gritstone moors, with traces of a 19th‑century textile and milling past and plenty of scenic walking and cycling routes that make it popular with visitors and locals who enjoy the outdoors.

Economically the ward combines small‑scale agriculture, tourism and local services, while many residents commute to nearby urban centres in Greater Manchester. There’s a noticeable community focus on heritage and conservation, with former mill buildings repurposed and a steady stream of events and volunteer groups supporting the rural way of life.
