Holymoorside is a village and civil parish in North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, situated a few miles north‑west of Chesterfield on the fringe of the moorland that leads into the Peak District National Park. It occupies a pleasant rural setting of stone cottages, farmsteads and pockets of mixed woodland, with easy access to countryside walking and bridleways popular with locals.
Historically the area shares the county's industrial past in small‑scale quarrying and mining, and today combines agriculture and local services with many residents commuting to nearby towns and cities; the civil parish includes the neighbouring settlement of Walton and supports an active community life around a village hall, pubs, a primary school and parish events, with attention to conserving its traditional character.
