Map of the UK

The village and civil parish of Stanton by Bridge sits in the district of South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, on the banks of the River Trent, close to the historic causeway and bridge at Swarkestone and within easy reach of Derby. Its low-lying setting on river meadows gives long, open views and a distinctly rural feel despite good road links to nearby towns.

Historically the settlement has deep roots, centred on the compact Norman and medieval St Michael's Church and a handful of listed buildings and earthworks that hint at a longer past. The local economy is still largely agricultural, with many residents commuting out for work, and the parish retains a small, close-knit community character that attracts walkers and anyone interested in riverside landscapes and local history.
