South Wingfield is a small village and civil parish in Amber Valley, Derbyshire, England, set where the valley of the River Amber cuts through gently rolling farmland. The atmospheric ruin of Wingfield Manor, a 15th‑century stone house, dominates the local skyline and provides a strong historic focus that draws walkers and anyone interested in medieval and post‑medieval life in the county.
Historically the community balanced agriculture with small‑scale mining and local trades, and today it largely functions as a rural residential village with a lively village spirit and footpaths linking into the wider countryside and the fringe of the Peak District. Many residents commute to nearby towns such as Alfreton or Derby, while the parish retains a mix of historic character, quiet lanes and community amenities that reflect its long local identity.
