Holmesfield is a village and civil parish in North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, lying on high ground at the eastern fringes of the Peak District. The area is characterised by stone-built houses, rolling farmland and open moorland, giving long views across neighbouring valleys and a network of well-used footpaths and bridleways popular with walkers and cyclists.
Historically agricultural, the village retains a rural character with traditional farmsteads, a parish church and local pubs and community facilities that help knit the community together; many residents now commute to nearby towns and cities such as Sheffield while others work in farming and small local enterprises. Its mix of countryside, listed buildings and active village life makes Holmesfield typical of the quieter, lived-in edges of the Peak District.
