Simmondley is a residential ward on the southern edge of Glossop in the High Peak district of Derbyshire, England, lying close to the eastern fringes of the Peak District National Park. Set on the slopes above Glossopdale, it offers pleasant views across the Pennines and easy access to popular walking routes and nearby reservoirs.
Once a small agricultural settlement, Simmondley expanded through 20th‑century housebuilding and is now largely a commuter community with local shops, a primary school, a community centre and sports clubs. There is an active local civic life - village fêtes, volunteer groups and grassroots sport - that helps the area retain a village feel while sitting close to the amenities of Glossop and commuter links into Manchester.
