About

Borrowash and Ockbrook sit in the Borough of Erewash, east of Derby beside the River Derwent. Borrowash lies alongside the rail line between Derby and Nottingham; the old Borrowash station building still stands near the tracks and marks the village’s railway past. The two settlements link into local road routes that serve commuters and small businesses, while riverside paths and field edges form a network of short walks that connect housing, shops and community facilities.

Ockbrook is arranged around a sizable village green and a parish church with parts that date back to the medieval period, giving a clear rural centre to everyday life. Community sport is visible at the Ockbrook & Borrowash Cricket Club, and local shops, pubs and primary schools serve residents rather than tourists. For anyone using the area, the mix of riverside footpaths, the surviving station building and a compact village centre make it easy to move between open ground and local services without leaving the parish.
