Repton is a compact village and civil parish in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, set on the fertile floodplain close to the River Trent. Its centre is a mix of timber-framed and Georgian buildings and it sits within easy commuting distance of larger Midlands towns, so the local economy combines agriculture, small businesses and people who work elsewhere.
The village punches above its weight historically and culturally: the Anglo‑Saxon St Wystan's Church with its ancient crypt and the nearby Viking burial finds attract interest from historians and visitors, and the long‑established independent Repton School remains an important local presence. Community life is shaped by village events, heritage tourism and the school, giving Repton a strong sense of place despite its small size.
