About

Somercotes ward lies in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, centred on the former mining village of the same name. The area is characterised by residential streets and local amenities, with the main A38 road forming a significant transport route to the east. The landscape includes pockets of green space and the River Amber, which flows to the south of the main settlement. Industrial heritage is evident in the local architecture and the presence of former colliery sites now largely repurposed.

The ward extends to include the smaller settlement of Leabrooks. The local economy is supported by a mix of small businesses and light industry. Riddings Park provides a large recreational area with sports facilities and woodland walks. The historical Somercotes Hill, a local landmark, offers views across the valley and is a reminder of the area's elevated position within the Erewash Valley.
