Ible (pronounced 'eyebull', or 'ib-ull') is a hamlet in Derbyshire, England, just within the Peak District National Park.[1]

It is near the Via Gellia valley, the historic market town of Wirksworth and village of Bonsall, and is on the route of the Limestone Way[2] and the Peak District Boundary Walk.[3]

The name of the hamlet is derived from the Old English for "Ibba's Hollow".[4]
