Aston upon Trent is a compact village and civil parish in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, sitting on the south bank of the River Trent a few miles south‑east of Derby. Its low‑lying floodplain and proximity to the Trent and Mersey Canal give a mix of meadowland, riverine wildlife and leisure use alongside the village’s more settled areas.
The settlement has medieval roots reflected in its historic buildings and parish church, while today community life is typical of a rural commuter village - centred on the church, village hall and pub, with local farms and small businesses alongside residents who work in nearby towns. The riverside location has long influenced local trade and transport and now attracts walkers, birdwatchers and boaters.
