Turnditch is a small village in the borough of Amber Valley in Derbyshire, England, sitting on a limestone ridge on the road between Belper and Ashbourne. Its position offers pleasant views across the Derwent Valley towards the hills of the Peak District, and it lies within easy reach of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage area and the regional centre of Derby.
Historically rooted in agriculture and local trade between market towns, the village retains a mix of stone cottages and a small parish community; today many residents commute to nearby towns while farming and small enterprises continue. Social life is focused around the village church and hall, giving Turnditch a quiet, rural character prized for countryside access close to larger employment and cultural centres.
