Holmewood is a village in North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, situated a few miles south of Chesterfield and close to Clay Cross. It sits on the edge of the old coalfield with easy road links to the M1 and nearby A‑roads, and offers straightforward access to surrounding countryside popular with walkers and cyclists.
Originally built to serve Holmewood Colliery, the village has seen significant post‑industrial change: former pit land has been redeveloped for housing and light industry, while local amenities such as a primary school, pubs, a village hall and sports clubs help maintain a strong community feel. The mix of mining heritage, practical commuter links to larger towns and pockets of semi‑rural character gives the village a pragmatic yet distinct local identity.
