South Wingfield is a village and civil parish in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, England, set beside the River Amber on the fringe of the Peak District. It sits roughly between Matlock and Alfreton, giving it a rural atmosphere while remaining within easy commuting distance of Derby.
The village is best known for the dramatic ruined 15th-century Wingfield Manor, which overlooks the settlement and points to a long and layered local history; the surrounding landscape reflects centuries of farming alongside the wider valley’s former coal‑mining and light industrial heritage. Today South Wingfield combines village amenities such as a parish church, pubs and community groups with a mix of local agriculture and residents who commute to nearby towns, making it a quietly attractive spot for people exploring Derbyshire’s countryside and history.
