Barrow upon Trent is a small rural parish in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, set on the floodplain of the River Trent just a short distance from the city of Derby. Its low-lying riverside landscape gives way to meadows and waterways that attract birdlife and make for pleasant riverside walks, while the village remains quietly tucked away from major urban sprawl.
The settlement has historic roots visible in its medieval parish church, St Wilfrid's Church, and a number of listed buildings, reflecting a long agricultural past. Today it combines farming with a commuter population, maintaining a close-knit village feel with local events and community facilities while relying on nearby road links and Derby for wider services and employment.
