Aston is a largely rural electoral ward in the district of South Derbyshire, within Derbyshire, England. It comprises a scattering of villages and hamlets set among farmland and meadows, with a landscape shaped by proximity to the River Trent and its floodplain; that setting gives the area a mix of productive agricultural land, riverside wildlife and attractive country lanes.
Historically the settlements here have medieval roots and retain a number of older parish churches and listed cottages, giving a strong sense of local continuity. Today the ward combines small local businesses, farms and a sizeable commuter population who travel into Derby and beyond, while village halls, pubs and community events keep a lively social life despite the quiet, rural character.
