Foston is a small, rural village and civil parish in South Derbyshire, in the county of Derbyshire, England. It sits amid the rolling farmland and hedgerow-lined lanes typical of the East Midlands, and benefits from relatively easy access to larger centres such as Derby and Burton-on-Trent, so many residents commute while the village itself remains quiet and largely agricultural in character.
Historically the settlement grew from farming roots and still shows that heritage in stone farmhouses and a compact village layout; there are a number of older buildings and a local parish identity rather than any big tourist draw. Socially it tends to be a close-knit community with parish events and local groups, while economically the area is a mix of agriculture and people working in nearby towns or in light industry and services across South Derbyshire.
