Swanwick is a substantial village in Derbyshire, situated just south of Alfreton and roughly two miles from the junction of the A38 and the M1. Historically, the area was defined by its coal mining heritage and narrow-seam pits, but today it has a more residential character, serving as a practical base for those working in Derby, Nottingham, or Chesterfield. At the heart of the village is the church of St Andrew, and the local secondary school - The Swanwick Hall School - occupies a site with a history dating back to an 18th-century hall. To the east, the village borders the Midland Railway Trust at Butterley, where the landscape opens up into woodland and former industrial sites reclaimed by nature. Living here means having the amenities of a small town on your doorstep, including a handful of traditional pubs and local shops, while being only a short drive from the more rugged terrain of the Peak District to the west.
