Borrowash is a large village in the borough of Erewash, Derbyshire, England, sitting on the banks of the River Derwent about four miles east of Derby. It functions largely as a commuter settlement with regular road and rail links towards Derby and Nottingham, and offers a small village centre with shops, pubs, a primary school and local sports clubs.
Historically the village expanded with 19th‑century transport and local industry and today is appreciated for its riverside and canal walks in the Derwent Valley and nearby Erewash Canal, active community sports teams and modest local events that give it a distinctly village feel despite its proximity to larger towns.
