The village and civil parish of Wingerworth sits in North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, just a few miles south‑east of the market town of Chesterfield. It occupies a mix of former estate parkland and agricultural land with suburban housing from the 20th century and pockets of older stone buildings around the historic core; countryside and the edges of the Peak District are easily reached, so it appeals to walkers and commuters alike.
Historically the area was shaped by the Hunloke family's Wingerworth Hall and later had links to coal mining and light industry, but today it is largely residential with local shops, schools and an active parish community that runs clubs, fêtes and sports teams. Remnants of the old estate and village greens give it a pleasant village feel while proximity to Chesterfield provides wider employment and services.
