Dinting is a little village strewn along at the north edge of Glossop in north-western Derbyshire, and half a mile north-east of Gamesley. It is a small village and has no shops apart from a chip shop. The nearest are in neighbouring Glossop or Hadfield.

The Dinting Viaduct spans the Glossop Brook here; a modern railway viaduct on old, brick pillars, carrying the Glossop Line to Manchester Piccadilly railway station. The structure striding across the valley and the village is known as the Dinting Arches. The village has its own station. It used to have a mini-museum, the Dinting Railway Centre run by the Bahamas Locomotive Society, but this closed in 1991 and moved to Ingrow station alongside the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway Line.

However, there is a small primary school, Dinting C of E, located near the viaduct.
