The civil parish of Heath and Holmewood sits in the district of North East Derbyshire on the eastern edge of Derbyshire in England. It combines an older, rural core at Heath with the more modern, mining-era settlement of Holmewood, lying amid rolling countryside and within easy reach of larger centres such as Chesterfield, Clay Cross and Bolsover.
Holmewood’s growth during the coalfield era has left a clear historic and social imprint, and the decline of deep mining has given way to a largely residential community with pockets of light industry and local services. Community life is centred on village halls, clubs and local events, and the parish’s network of footpaths and green spaces gives it a pleasantly semi-rural feel despite good commuter links to neighbouring towns.
