Spital is a small village located in the county of Derbyshire, in the East Midlands region of England. Situated just a few miles northeast of the town of Chesterfield, Spital is nestled in the picturesque countryside, offering residents and visitors a tranquil and scenic environment.

The village is renowned for its historical significance, with evidence of human settlement dating back to Roman times. The name "Spital" itself is derived from the Old English word "spital," meaning "hospital," suggesting the presence of a medieval hospital or religious house in the area.

Today, Spital is a residential community with a population of around 1,000 people. It boasts a charming mix of traditional stone cottages and more modern houses, creating a harmonious blend of old and new. The village is also home to St. Leonard's Church, a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 12th century and is a prominent feature of the local landscape.

While primarily a residential area, Spital benefits from its close proximity to Chesterfield, which offers a wide range of amenities, including shopping centers, restaurants, and leisure facilities. Additionally, the village is well-connected to surrounding areas by road, with easy access to major transport routes such as the A617 and A61.

Overall, Spital offers a peaceful and idyllic setting for those seeking a rural lifestyle, while still being within reach of urban conveniences. Its rich history, stunning natural surroundings, and strong sense of community make it an attractive place to live or visit in Derbyshire.
