Risley is a small village in the borough of Erewash, in Derbyshire, England, sitting roughly between Derby and Nottingham and within easy reach of the A52 and M1. The setting is typically semi-rural: a compact settlement surrounded by farmland and the post-industrial landscapes of the Erewash valley, making it popular with commuters who work in nearby towns and cities.
Despite its size, Risley has a notable historic vein - the most recognisable local landmark is Risley Hall, an old manor house that has been adapted for leisure and hospitality - and the village retains a traditional community feel with a parish church, village amenities and local clubs. The local economy is a mix of small businesses, agriculture and people travelling out to larger employment centres, while community events and green spaces give the place a quietly village character.
