About

Linton ward is located in the eastern part of South Derbyshire, bordering Leicestershire. The area is primarily rural, characterised by agricultural land and small settlements.

The landscape is defined by gentle rolling fields and country lanes, with the presence of farming being a central part of the local economy and character.

This structure, part of which dates to the 13th century, is one of the longest stone bridges in England. The surrounding area includes the grounds of Staunton Harold Hall, with its landscape parkland. The ward's settlements maintain a quiet, residential atmosphere, with local community activities often centred around the village hall and parish church.
