The village of Risley has a rich history that dates back to the Roman era. The area was once home to a Roman fort, which was built to protect the nearby settlement of Derventio. Today, the remains of the fort can still be seen in the form of earthworks and ditches. In the Middle Ages, Risley was a thriving agricultural community, with many of its residents working on the surrounding farms. The village also had a number of mills, which were powered by the nearby River Erewash.

Today, Risley is a peaceful and picturesque village that is popular with visitors who are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The village has a number of amenities, including a post office, a village hall, and a primary school. There are also several pubs and restaurants in the area, which serve traditional English cuisine and locally brewed ales. With its rich history, stunning countryside, and friendly community, Risley is a wonderful place to visit or call home.
