Coton in the Elms is a small village and civil parish in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, sitting in a gently undulating agricultural landscape close to the borders with Leicestershire and Staffordshire. It has a curious claim to fame as one of the points in Great Britain furthest from the sea, which often draws attention beyond its size.
Locally the village has a compact, community‑focused feel, with a church, village hall and primary school forming the social core and farming still shaping the economy and surrounding countryside. A mix of older cottages and more modern homes hints at its long history and changing role as some residents commute to nearby towns while others remain tied to agriculture and local trades.
