Holmewood & Heath sits in the district of North East Derbyshire in Derbyshire, England, and comprises the former colliery villages of Holmewood and Heath. The ward is largely residential with pockets of light industry and retail, set against a backdrop of rolling Derbyshire countryside; its mining heritage is still visible in street patterns and community buildings dating from the late 19th and 20th centuries.
Today the area has a tight-knit, post‑industrial character: local clubs, schools and village halls remain important social hubs, while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Chesterfield or cities like Sheffield. Green spaces and easy access to the wider Peak District make it attractive for outdoor recreation, and ongoing regeneration projects reflect a gradual shift from a coal‑dependent past to a more mixed local economy.
