Dronfield is a market town in North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, tucked between Sheffield and Chesterfield and straddling the small River Drone. It sits on the eastern edge of the Peak District, offering a handy mix of commuter links and quick access to countryside walks and limestone scenery.
Historically the town grew around coal, steel and small-scale manufacturing, and its stone-built centre and parish church still reflect that long past. Today Dronfield feels like a busy local hub with independent shops, good schools and active community groups, while many residents commute to Sheffield or Chesterfield for work.
