Walton-on-Trent is a small rural village in South Derbyshire, in the county of Derbyshire, England. It sits on the south bank of the River Trent, giving it a low-lying riverside character that shaped its past as an agricultural settlement and local crossing point; the place name itself reflects very old roots and a long continuity of occupation.
Today the village retains a compact, close-knit feel with several historic buildings and parish institutions, while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Burton upon Trent. The river and surrounding countryside remain important for wildlife and leisure but also bring occasional flood risk, and village life is marked by a mix of farming, residential life and local social activities.
