Holmesfield

Viking influences are also evident with many road names suffixed by "gate", the old Norse word for "way".

[3] Holmesfield is sited at approximately 800 feet (240 m) above sea level on the edge of the Peak District National Park, with extensive views from the village over the surrounding hilly terrain.

The parish includes a number of farming hamlets such as Millthorpe situated in the neighbouring Cordwell Valley.

The other structures, including Woodthorpe Hall, Cartledge Grange and the parish church, are listed as Grade II.

There are three pubs within the village (The Rutland Arms, The George and Dragon, and The Angel Inn) and a further two elsewhere within the parish (The Royal Oak at Millthorpe, and The Peacock and The Moorlands at Owler Bar).
