About

Gosforth Valley is a residential area situated on the eastern edge of Chesterfield, within the North East Derbyshire district.

The layout incorporates significant areas of maintained green space, including playing fields and small parks that provide recreational areas for residents.

The local geography is defined by its position on a gentle valley slope.
