Peak Dale is a small village in Derbyshire, three miles north-east of Buxton and a mile and a half south-east of Dove Holes.
The village sits between Dove Holes Quarry (to the north) and Tunstead Quarry (to the south), with other smaller quarries in the vicinity. It was built to house quarry workers and their families, though some of the original houses have now been demolished.
The village has a club (Great Rocks Club), a playground and a primary school.
Great Rocks Dale lies immediately south of the village.
Railway
The village previously had a railway station called Peak Forest railway station, on the Midland Railway line, which closed when passenger services were withdrawn. However, the station building survives as offices for the adjacent quarry as does the line through the station, which is now known as the Green Rocks Line.
