Map of the UK

Smalley is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Amber Valley, Derbyshire, situated a short distance from the towns of Heanor and Ilkeston and within easy commuting range of Derby. The setting is lowland Derbyshire with lanes, hedgerows and a mix of older stone and brick buildings that reflect a long rural past.

Traditionally agricultural and influenced by nearby 19th‑century industrial activity in the county, the area is now largely residential with local services, a parish church and active community groups that help retain a village feel. Its proximity to larger towns gives it a pleasant balance of rural character and commuter economy, with pockets of historic fabric and green space that preserve a sense of place.
