Sparrowpit is a small village between Chapel-en-le-Frith and Peak Forest in the High Peak area of the Peak District, Derbyshire, England.[1]
The name is derived from 'spar row pit' from the fluorspar mines.
The village has an active community, including a methodist chapel and village hall.
It is situated at a crossroads where the main road (A623) takes a right-angled bend at the Wanted Inn. From this junction, one minor road takes a different and hillier route to Chapel-en-le-Frith, and another heads for Mam Tor and Castleton by way of the Winnats Pass.[2]
The watershed between rivers running east into the North Sea and west into the Irish Sea runs almost exactly through the village.
