The area around Heage and Ambergate lies in the borough of Amber Valley in Derbyshire, England, occupying the lower slopes and river valleys where the River Derwent meets the River Amber. It blends rural farmland and steep wooded banks with clear reminders of the past, from the iconic six‑sailed Heage Windmill to the legacy of 18th–19th century industry close to the Derwent Valley Mills area and the nearby Cromford Canal.
Locally the settlements feel village‑centred, with small shops, pubs and community events sustained by a mix of long‑standing families and commuters travelling to Derby or other towns.
