Calow is a village a couple of miles east of Chesterfield in the district of North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England. It sits on the edge of the former Derbyshire coalfield, giving it a semi‑rural feel with pockets of post‑industrial landscape and surrounding farmland rather than a dense urban core.
Historically it grew as a small mining community and that heritage is still evident in the layout and in local institutions; today the local economy mixes commuter households with light industry and services in nearby towns. Social life centres on community halls, churches, pubs and sports clubs, so despite its modest size Calow retains a strong local identity and an active community atmosphere.
