The parish of Shardlow and Great Wilne sits in South Derbyshire a short distance east of Derby, where the broad sweep of the River Trent meets the historic Trent and Mersey Canal. The low-lying landscape of river meadows and waterways shapes local life, giving good waterside walks and rich birdlife on the floodplain.
Historically the area grew as one of Britain’s most complete inland canal ports, with rows of late 18th- and 19th-century red-brick warehouses, wharves and limekilns that are now protected and often converted into homes, shops and pubs. Today a small, active community mixes agriculture and commuting with a visible heritage economy - narrowboating and waterside tourism, conservation areas and local amenities keep the parish’s industrial past prominent.
