Flash is a small village high in the Staffordshire Peak District. At 463m (1518ft) above sea level it is reputedly the highest village in England. As an isolated community it formerly had a reputation for being a centre for illicit activities such as cock fighting and counterfeiting ('Flash money').

According to some sources (eg [1]) , the counterfeit money used to be exchanged at the nearby Three Shires Head (where Staffordshire, Cheshire and Derbyshire meet) on Axe Edge Moor.

Flash is located at UK grid reference SK024671, or 53°12′N 1°58′W.
