Lower Pilsley is a small village in North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, sitting on the rural fringe a short drive from the market town of Chesterfield and within easy reach of the eastern edge of the Peak District. The landscape is typically Derbyshire – rolling fields, hedgerows and public footpaths that make it popular with walkers and people seeking a quieter base outside the larger towns.

Like many settlements in this part of the county, Lower Pilsley has roots in agriculture and later connections to the coal-mining and industrial history of North East Derbyshire, but today it largely functions as a residential and commuter community with a close-knit social life centred on local amenities, village events and countryside pursuits. Its mix of traditional buildings and more modern housing reflects that gradual shift from a working rural economy to a quieter, community-focused village.
