Coton in the Elms is a small, rural village in the district of South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, set amid farmland and hedgerows close to county boundaries. It is best known for being the point in Great Britain furthest from coastal waters - a quirky local distinction marked by a small plaque - and its landscape reflects that agricultural character rather than any urban centre.
Locally the village has a tight‑knit community feel with a parish church, village facilities and scattered cottages that hint at a long farming history; economically many households remain tied to agriculture or commute to nearby towns for work. There’s a modest social life centred on local clubs, the pub and village events, so it feels very much like a traditional English village while still serving as a base for people working in the wider region.
