Melbourne is a compact market town in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, set on the edge of the Trent valley a short drive from Derby. The town centre is largely a conservation area of stone and brick houses, old coaching inns and community amenities, surrounded by agricultural land and parkland that make it popular with walkers and commuters who value a village feel with good East Midlands transport links.
Melbourne is best known for Melbourne Hall and its long history as the family seat of the Lambs, the Viscounts Melbourne - the town famously lent its name to Melbourne, Australia through that connection. There’s a lively local life with markets and annual events, independent shops and pubs, and a strong sense of history visible in the parish church and surviving historic streetscapes close to the River Trent.
