Gosforth Valley is an electoral ward in North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, characterised by a mix of residential streets and surrounding countryside. It sits within easy reach of larger towns, forming part of a commuter belt for places such as Chesterfield and Sheffield, and benefits from nearby green spaces and a quieter, village-like atmosphere.

The ward’s character has been shaped by the county’s industrial and mining past, but today its economy is a blend of local trades, agriculture and commuters working in neighbouring urban centres. Social life tends to revolve around community groups, parish activities and local pubs, with practical transport links and a generally close-knit feel common across many semi-rural Derbyshire wards.
