Nestled in the rolling hills of South Derbyshire, Hartshorne is a village that manages to feel tucked away despite its proximity to the busier hubs of Swadlincote and Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It is split into ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ parts, connected by the winding routes of the A514, with the landscape dominated by the National Forest. The village’s history is anchored by the 15th-century tower of St Peter’s Church and the presence of several distinctive cruck-framed buildings, serving as a reminder of its long agricultural past. Practically speaking, it is well-placed for those who need access to the East Midlands airport or the M1, yet the immediate surroundings are defined by old woodland and former clay workings that have since been reclaimed by nature. Local life tends to center around the village hall and the cricket club, and there are still a couple of traditional pubs that have served the community for generations, maintaining a sense of permanence in an area that has seen much change.
