Location

Weston-on-Trent is a quiet, unspoilt South Derbyshire village situated within the Trent valley, approximately 8 miles from the city of Derby and 18 miles from Nottingham city centre.

The village has a strong historical history and most of the village now lies within a conservation area, with St Mary’s Church, a Grade I listed building.

Leisure Activities

This sense of history is reflected in the number of National Trust properties in the area: Elvaston Castle being a popular choice for family days out, along with Calke Abbey, Kedleston Hall, and Chatsworth House.

The river and canals have also had an influence on local leisure activities. The development of Mercia Marina, in nearby Willington, is now the largest inland marina in Europe, and Swarkestone Sailing Club, a local family friendly club, welcomes experienced sailors and novices alike.

The area has many local footpaths and open spaces to take advantage of, whether that’s walking the dog, cycling, or a relaxing evening stroll.

Weston-on-Trent and the surrounding villages have a wide range of thriving Inns and Restaurants, serving an excellent range of food, including fine dining options for that special occasion.

Travel

Offering excellent transport links to main routes, A50, A38, M1, M42 and M6, and national rail networks at Derby and East Midlands Parkway (both with a twice hourly service to London); the village is close to East Midlands International Airport, yet only ten minutes from Derby and an easy commute to Nottingham, Loughborough, Leicester, and Stoke.

Schools

Weston-on-Trent Village Primary School is a school of warmth, tradition and excellence, providing education for the children of the community and rated a ‘Good’ school by Ofsted.
