Castle Gresley is a small village and civil parish in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, lying just a short distance from the larger market town of Swadlincote and within easy reach of Burton upon Trent. The settlement sits where agricultural countryside meets the former coal and clay-working landscape of the south Derbyshire border, and has seen woodland planting associated with the National Forest nearby.
Historically the area has medieval roots and a built heritage that reflects later Victorian growth during the mining and pottery era; today it combines older cottages and terraces with more modern housing. Community life is centred on the village amenities such as the church, hall and local pubs, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work, giving Castle Gresley a distinctly village atmosphere within a broadly industrial-converted landscape.
