Chellaston Derbyshire Map

About Chellaston

Chellaston, a suburban expanse in Derbyshire, breathes a quiet, settled air, its streets lined with homes that speak of decades of quiet growth. It lies 6.8 km south-south-east of Derby (from Derby: bearing 156°T, OS grid SK 379 302), and is situated north-east of Swarkestone village. The gentle slope of the land here, a subtle sigh towards the Trent Valley, catches the afternoon sun in a way that lends a soft, golden hue to the brickwork and the well-tended gardens. Once a scattering of hamlets, Chellaston has expanded, its modern residential areas now flowing into the older core, where the parish church of St. Peter's stands as a quiet sentinel, its ancient stones worn smooth by the touch of countless seasons. The air here often carries the distant hum of Derby, yet within Chellaston itself, a sense of calm prevails, punctuated by the cheerful chatter of children on their way to school. The green fields that still fringe its edges offer a fleeting glimpse of the agricultural past that shaped this corner of the East Midlands.
