Dronfield Woodhouse & Holmesfield

About

Dronfield Woodhouse is a compact settlement within North East Derbyshire where a mix of 19th-century workers’ terraces and later housing sits close to pockets of open space. Local services include a primary school, shops and community halls that serve parish activities. The imprint of former coal working and small stone quarries is still visible in street patterns and in stone-built terraces. A railway line runs close to the edge of the settlement, and allotments, playing fields and short walks into neighbouring farmland are used by residents for daily recreation.

Holmesfield is a rural parish of farms, lanes and small hamlets set on higher ground. St Swithin’s church stands near the village core and routes of bridleways and footpaths radiate from the green, crossing dry-stone walls and pasture. Scattered field barns and old quarry faces mark the parish’s working past, while long lanes offer direct access to ridge-top views and to a network of permissive paths used by walkers and riders.
