About

Willington and Findern ward encompasses a largely rural area on the eastern edge of South Derbyshire. The settlements of Willington, a former mining village, and Findern, a more historic village, form its primary population centres. The landscape is characterised by flat agricultural land and the broad course of the River Trent, which defines its northern boundary. This proximity to the river and its floodplain shapes much of the local environment.

The area is connected by the A5132 road and the Birmingham to Derby railway line, which passes through Willington. A notable local feature is the network of old gravel pits near the Trent, which have been transformed into popular waterside nature reserves and fishing lakes. Community life focuses on local schools, village halls, and the public green spaces along the riverbank.
