About Butterley

The landscape around Butterley is characterised by its gently undulating terrain, a typical feature of the Amber Valley. It lies 1.3 km north of Ripley (from Ripley: bearing 8°T, OS grid SK 400 516). Historically, Butterley was a significant centre for iron production, with the Butterley Company playing a crucial role in the industrial development of the region during the 18th and 19th centuries. Evidence of this industrial past can still be seen in remnants of old ironworks and canals that once served the area. Today, Butterley retains a predominantly suburban feel, with residential properties interspersed with pockets of green space and agricultural land. The nearby Cromford Canal, a relic of its industrial heritage, offers scenic walking routes and a glimpse into the area's past.
