About

Aston-on-Trent and Barrow-upon-Trent are neighbouring villages situated on the south bank of the River Trent in the flat, low-lying landscape of South Derbyshire.

The Trent and Mersey Canal runs parallel to the river here, contributing to the network of waterways. The villages are positioned close to the Derbyshire border with Leicestershire, giving the area a quiet, semi-rural character.

The historic Church of All Saints in Aston-on-Trent, with its distinctive 13th-century tower, is a prominent local landmark. The villages are connected by the B6540 road, with the mainline railway passing nearby. A notable feature is the presence of a series of old gravel pits, now flooded and managed as nature reserves, which attract birdlife.
