Shirland is a mixed rural and village ward in North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, comprising several small settlements and surrounding farmland. It sits close to the urban edges of Alfreton and Clay Cross and is within commuting distance of Derby and Sheffield, with the open hills of the Peak District accessible a short drive away.
The area has a strong industrial past as part of the Derbyshire coalfield, visible in rows of 19th‑century terraces and former pit sites, but today the local economy is a mix of agriculture, light industry and commuters. Community life is anchored by village halls, pubs, sports clubs and voluntary groups, and there are plenty of footpaths and green spaces that reflect its semi‑rural character.
