The electoral ward of Ironville & Riddings sits in Amber Valley, Derbyshire, England, and covers the neighbouring villages of Ironville and Riddings. It lies a short distance from Alfreton and within easy commuting reach of Derby and Nottingham, giving it a semi-rural feel despite its industrial past.
Both villages carry a strong 19th‑century industrial heritage – Ironville grew up around ironworks and a planned workers’ settlement, while Riddings was shaped by coal, lime and associated trades. Today the ward is largely residential with pockets of light industry, active local clubs and village halls, and good access to green corridors and trails such as the Nutbrook Trail and nearby Cromford Canal, which are popular for walking and cycling and help retain a community‑focused, down‑to‑earth character.
