§ This page provides an overview of a UK's local authority district, bringing together various information to help you better understand this district.
Chesterfield is dominated by its bustling market town of the same name, famous for the Crooked Spire of St Mary and All Saints Church. Nestled at the edge of the Peak District, the district combines urban living with countryside landscapes of moors, valleys, and reservoirs. Surrounding villages such as Brimington, Staveley, and Hasland have strong industrial heritage while also serving as gateways to scenic trails and parks. The area’s history in coal and steel is still visible, but it is increasingly celebrated for outdoor recreation and its location as a cultural and commercial hub near Sheffield and Derbyshire’s countryside.
The local authority for this district is: Chesterfield Borough Council - responsible for district-level services. Since Derbyshire is a two-tier area, county-level services are handled by: Derbyshire County Council.
