Smalley Derbyshire Map

About Smalley

Smalley breathes the quiet tenacity of the Amber Valley, its houses clustered around ancient lanes that speak of lives lived close to the earth. It lies 3.4 km south-west of Heanor (from Heanor: bearing 235°T, OS grid SK 407 444), and is situated east-south-east of Horsley Woodhouse village. The fields that surround Smalley, sometimes a deep, resonant green under a soft Derbyshire sky, sometimes turned to the rich brown of tilled soil, have long dictated the pace of life here, a rhythm dictated by seasons and the enduring strength of agriculture. The old pit sites, now returning to meadow and scrub, are quiet monuments to a more recent, industrial past, their contours softened by time, where wildflowers now push through the scarred ground. The very air in Smalley seems to carry a certain stillness, a sense that the world outside can hurry on, but here, a more measured existence prevails, where the distant hum of traffic is a gentle murmur rather than a roar.
