Linton is a compact, mainly rural ward in South Derbyshire, in the county of Derbyshire, England, centred on the village of Linton. Set on the low-lying agricultural plain of the East Midlands, it shows the mix of stone and brick cottages, a parish church and winding lanes that characterise many Derbyshire villages, with easy road links to nearby towns.
Agriculture remains an important part of the local economy, though many residents commute to Derby or Burton upon Trent for work. The ward has historic roots going back centuries and retains a strong community feel, with a village hall, pub and sports clubs anchoring social life and popular opportunities for walking and cycling in the surrounding countryside.
