In a glorious setting in the Derwent Valley, Grindleford is surrounded by wooded hillsides, looking up to some classic gritstone edge scenery.

Grindleford developed from a group of small agricultural settlements with the coming of the railway to the Hope Valley in the 1880's. The old part of the village was around the Green, at the foot of Sir William Hill, where there is now a fine War Memorial and some pretty cottages. The river is crossed by bridges on the site of the ancient ford that gave the village its' name. There are some very grand houses on the Padley hillside and much of the building in Grindleford is of fine local sandstone from nearby Stoke Hall Quarry. Stoke Hall is a grand stately home in miniature a mile south of the village, it is not open to the public.
