Rolleston-on-Dove & Tutbury

Rolleston-on-Dove is a village situated on the banks of the River Dove, characterised by its historic core and connections to the brewing industry. The settlement includes a notable conservation area with timber-framed buildings and a medieval church. The surrounding landscape consists of farmland and river meadows, with the Trent and Mersey Canal also passing nearby, contributing to its historical role in transport and commerce.

Tutbury lies to the northeast, dominated by the substantial ruins of Tutbury Castle on a high ridge overlooking the floodplain. The village centre has a linear layout following the main road, with the River Dove forming a boundary. Local geography is defined by the castle grounds, the river, and the adjacent former flood meadows. The area has historical associations with the Duchy of Lancaster and a tradition of glassmaking.
