About

Sawley is situated in the Erewash borough, positioned where the River Trent meets the River Derwent. This location historically made it a significant river crossing point. The area includes the residential neighbourhoods of Sawley and the adjacent Sawley Village, which retains a more historic character. Much of the local landscape is defined by the broad Trent floodplain and the presence of the Trent and Mersey Canal, which runs parallel to the river.

The area is known for its marina and boating activity on the Trent, a focus for leisure. The large East Midlands Gateway logistics hub is located to the north, representing a major modern employer. Sawley is directly connected to the M1 motorway via Junction 24, making it a key transport link. The historic St. Mary's Church in Sawley Village stands near the site of a medieval priory, reflecting the area's long history.
