Rosliston is a small village and civil parish in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, lying a few miles south of Swadlincote. It keeps a quietly rural character of farms, cottages and a village hall, and many residents mix local agricultural ties with commuting to nearby towns.
Its standout feature is the Rosliston Forestry Centre in the National Forest, a popular hub for walking trails, wildlife projects, environmental education and community events. The village illustrates the area’s recent shift from an industrial-periphery past towards woodland creation and conservation, giving Rosliston a blend of local history and a nature-focused economy and social life.
