Welcome to Allenton

Allenton is a small village located in the southern part of Derbyshire, England. It is situated on the outskirts of the city of Derby and is home to a population of around 15,000 people. The village has a rich history, dating back to the 12th century when it was first mentioned in historical records. Today, Allenton is a thriving community with a range of amenities and attractions for residents and visitors alike.

One of the most notable features of Allenton is its proximity to the River Derwent. The river runs through the village and provides a picturesque backdrop for many of the local attractions. There are several parks and green spaces along the riverbank, including the popular Alvaston Park, which is just a short walk from the village centre. The river also offers opportunities for fishing, boating, and other water-based activities.

Allenton is also home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks. One of the most notable is the Allenton House, a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 18th century. The house has been beautifully restored and is now used as a community centre and venue for events and functions. Other historic buildings in the village include the Allenton Inn, which dates back to the 16th century, and the Allenton Mill, which was once a thriving industrial site and is now a popular tourist attraction.
