Holloway is a small village in the borough of Amber Valley, Derbyshire, England. Tucked on the fringe of the Derwent Valley and within easy reach of the Peak District, it has a rural feel with traditional stone cottages, farmland and access to lanes and footpaths that attract walkers and country lovers.
The settlement’s character reflects the mixed agricultural and industrial history of the area - the whole of Amber Valley was shaped by nearby textile mills and mining - but today Holloway is largely residential, with many people commuting to nearby towns such as Belper, Ripley or Derby. Local community life is quiet and village‑centred, with limited amenities balanced by a strong sense of place and easy access to regional heritage sites.
