About

Whittington ward lies on the northern fringe of Chesterfield, primarily consisting of residential suburbs. The area is largely defined by post-war housing estates and more recent developments, creating a settled community atmosphere. Local amenities are centred around a few key parades of shops and services catering to daily needs. The ward's boundaries encompass significant green corridors, including the course of the River Rother as it flows eastward.

A notable landmark is the 14th-century St Bartholomew's Church, which stands on a rise overlooking the village-like historic core. This older settlement nucleus contrasts with the surrounding modern housing. The area is bordered by major transport routes, including the A61, linking it to Chesterfield town centre and beyond. Open farmland lies directly to the north, marking the transition from urban to rural landscape.
