The population of the appropriate Chesterfield ward taken at the 2011 Census was 2,489.[1]
Among its attractions are a few shops, a golf course, and a pub called The Blue Stoops on Matlock Road (A632). The River Hipper runs by Walton and feeds Walton Dam. There are two Christian churches in Walton: St. John's (Anglican)[2] and Walton Evangelical Church.[3] In 2006, the rebuilt St. John's was opened and is able to accommodate a larger congregation than the previous building.
