Duckmanton is a popular village in North East Derbyshire, characterised as a “long scattered village”, it is traditionally divided into three distinct areas: Long, Middle, and Far Duckmanton. With a history stretching back to the Domesday Book, the village evolved significantly through its coal mining heritage, and with areas of the village forming part of the Sutton Scarsdale Hall estate, home to the Grade I Listed 18th-century Hall, now owned by English Heritage. The village is situated immediately adjacent to Junction 29A of the M1 motorway, providing direct access to Sheffield (16 miles), Nottingham (22 miles), and Derby (26 miles). It is also ideally placed for local travel, with Chesterfield just 4 miles to the west and Bolsover only 2.5 miles to the east. The village is bordered by open countryside and features the Duckmanton Cutting Nature Reserve – a Site of Special Scientific Interest (sssi).
