The village and civil parish of Wormhill sits in the rural hills of the High Peak district of Derbyshire, on the western fringe of the Peak District and within easy reach of Buxton and Chapel-en-le-Frith in England. Built from local stone, its historic centre - including the parish church of St Margaret and a scattering of cottages and farms - reflects a long agricultural and small-scale mining past, with gritstone and limestone scenery giving the surrounding countryside a distinctly Peak District character.
Today Wormhill remains a small, close-knit rural community where farming, outdoor recreation and commuting to nearby towns underpin the local economy; lanes and footpaths attract walkers and cyclists, and village life is centred on the hall and occasional local events that sustain a strong sense of place.
