Holymoorside and Walton is a semi-rural civil parish on the western fringe of Chesterfield in the district of North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England. It sits where rolling farmland and pockets of moorland begin to give way to the hills of the Peak District, so the area is popular with walkers and anyone after wide views, hedgerows and small woodlands rather than urban bustle.
The two villages have a strong community feel, with village halls, local clubs and pubs alongside small independent businesses and working farms. Historically the settlement has grown from agricultural roots with later Victorian building, and today it combines a commuter population travelling to nearby towns with people drawn to countryside living; active conservation and community groups help preserve its rural character and historic buildings.
