Kedleston is a small, predominantly rural parish in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, a few miles to the north‑west of Derby in England. The area is dominated by the grand 18th‑century neoclassical country house Kedleston Hall, designed by Robert Adam for the Curzon family, set within extensive parkland, lakes and classical monuments that give the parish its distinctive landscape.
With a tiny resident population the local economy and social life are closely tied to the estate and to tourism, while surrounding farmland preserves a quiet, pastoral character. The hall and grounds, managed for public access, host events and draws visitors interested in architecture, history and countryside walks, so the parish combines historic grandeur with a tranquil village feel.
