Risley is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Erewash in Derbyshire, England, lying a few miles south of Ilkeston and east of Long Eaton. It keeps a quiet, rural feel with surrounding farmland and public footpaths, while being within easy reach of Derby and Nottingham and major routes such as the M1 and A52, which makes it popular with commuters.
The area has medieval roots and retains several historic buildings; Risley Hall, a former manor house now functioning as a hotel and spa, is a local landmark. Historically agricultural, the parish has been influenced by the growth of nearby industrial towns, and today combines historic architecture and modern housing with active community groups and occasional local events that sustain a strong village identity.
