Grassmoor is a village in the district of North East Derbyshire in Derbyshire, England, situated a few miles south‑west of Chesterfield. It sits on the edge of open countryside but is part of the wider Chesterfield hinterland, making it a quiet residential spot with good road links to larger towns and cities.
Historically a coal‑mining community, the village’s character was shaped by the pits and the close‑knit mining population; landscape reclamation has since created green spaces such as Grassmoor Country Park with paths, water features and wildlife. Today the village retains a strong community feel - village halls, clubs and pubs remain important - while many residents commute for work, reflecting the social and economic changes that followed the decline of the Derbyshire coalfield.
