Kniveton in Derbyshire, is a pretty, grey stone village, sheltered in a deep hollow on the slope of madge hill.

Most people simply pass through Kniveton, on their way to Carsington Water but it is worth a look if only for its charming little church. The church consists of a nave, chancel and a tower. The tower, built in the 13th century, is unbuttressed and contains small lancet windows, battlements and a short spire.

Just north of the village is the Bronze Age burial mound at Wigber Low which has revealed some important remains from the village's past.
