Sawley sits in the borough of Erewash in Derbyshire, England, straddling the banks of the River Trent where the historic Trent and Mersey Canal runs nearby. The most striking landmark is the remains of the medieval Cistercian Sawley Abbey, set against a waterside backdrop that includes a marina and characterful pubs, giving the parish a strong riverside and leisure identity alongside its village feel.
The community combines a quiet, conservation-minded character with easy commuter links to Nottingham and Derby, and its economy and social life have long been influenced by nearby industrial towns such as Long Eaton. Local clubs, annual events and the riverside towpath make it popular with walkers and boaters, while the abbey and canal heritage attract visitors interested in history and canal-side culture.
