Holmesfield is located in the county of Derbyshire. It is an ancient village with Norse, Anglo-Saxon and Viking origins. Set amid rugged hills and moorland southwest of the city of Sheffield, it is an idyllic base for walking and other outdoor pursuits in the Pennines. With a population of less than 1,000, Holmesfield is perfect for visitors who want to experience life in a rural community typical of the region, with beautiful walks and historical sites nearby in the Peak District. Thanks to its hillside location, spectacular views can be enjoyed from the village. There are far-reaching views southward across fields and hedgerows toward the Cordwell Valley and west to the moors of the eastern Peak District. On a clear day, you can even make out the twisting spire of Chesterfield and the castle at Bolsover.
