Boythorpe is a small suburb to the south-west of Chesterfield town centre in Derbyshire. It also borders Birdholme to its east, and Walton to its west. The area is largely made up of social housing although Chesterfield's largest park, Queens' Park, is located in Boythorpe. The area also has a large secondary school, Parkside Community School, which serves students aged 11-16.
