The ward encompasses the villages of Smalley, Shipley and Horsley Woodhouse in Amber Valley, Derbyshire, England. It has a semi‑rural character of stone cottages, village greens and surrounding farmland while remaining within easy commuting distance of Derby and Nottingham.
Like much of Amber Valley the area carries the legacy of small‑scale mining, framework knitting and quarrying, but today the local economy is a mix of agriculture, local businesses and commuters. Community life is lively for its size, centred on village halls, churches and pubs, and residents value the combination of quiet village living with good links to nearby towns and the Peak District beyond.
