Belper South is a ward within the borough of Amber Valley in Derbyshire, England, covering the southern side of the town of Belper. It sits beside the River Derwent and close to the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site, so the landscape mixes riverside terraces and historic mill buildings with more modern housing and green spaces on the approach to the Peak District.
The area carries a strong textile heritage from the 18th and 19th centuries, reflected in stone workers’ cottages and mill architecture, while today many residents commute to Derby or Matlock and work in services or light industry. Local community life is centred on shops, schools and clubs, and the ward’s combination of historic character and good transport links makes it a steady, mixed residential neighbourhood rather than a purely urban or rural settlement.
