Ridgeway & Marsh Lane

The Ridgeway & Marsh Lane ward lies in the eastern portion of the North East Derbyshire district, bordering the city of Chesterfield. Its landscape is characterised by a mix of residential development and open agricultural land, with the historic Ridgeway village forming a central point. The area includes several smaller settlements and is traversed by major transport routes, including the A61, linking it to broader regional networks.

A notable feature within the ward is the Barrow Hill Roundhouse, a surviving railway turntable and engine shed complex that serves as a working museum. The surrounding terrain includes areas of former mining land, now largely reclaimed. Land use is primarily a balance of housing estates, local commerce serving the communities, and farmland, with pockets of woodland scattered throughout the ward.
