The village of Ticknall sits in the district of South Derbyshire in Derbyshire, England, tucked into gently rolling agricultural countryside near the Leicestershire border. It retains a rural, residential character and is popular with walkers and commuters, with a local economy made up of farming, small businesses and a modest amount of tourism linked to nearby heritage attractions.
Historically Ticknall developed around limestone working and lime-burning, and surviving features such as old lime kilns and the line of the former tramway give the area a strong industrial-heritage feel. The village is close to the National Trust estate at Calke Abbey and to a restored stretch of the Ashby-de-la-Zouch Canal, so many visitors come for estate walks, canal-side paths and the village’s distinctive historic character.
