Milford is a small village in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, England, set on the banks of the River Derwent and tucked between the larger settlements of Belper and Duffield. Its location places it within the landscape shaped by the Industrial Revolution: the nearby Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage area and surviving mill architecture reflect a strong textile and water‑powered manufacturing heritage.
Today Milford feels like a mix of village community and commuter settlement, with local pubs, shops and walking routes alongside residents who travel into Derby or further afield for work. The river and surrounding countryside make it popular with walkers and cyclists, while the historic industrial legacy gives the village an interesting cultural and historic backdrop close to the edge of the Peak District countryside.
