Darley Abbey
Derby’s most sought-after suburb
Enjoy the village lifestyle less than two miles from Derby city centre
Sitting on the banks of the River Derwent, Darley Abbey offers a quiet village setting, lush green parklands and a range of charming properties to choose from. And, all the attractions of a modern city are just a stone’s throw away.
Darley Abbey is arguably Derby’s most charming suburb. At its heart is a collection of gorgeous brick cottages dating back to the 1790s, originally constructed for the people working in the mills on the Derwent.
They constitute some of the most desirable properties
in Derby today, and are surrounded by more modern homes, many of which have been built in sympathy with these 18th century gems. The village takes its name from an Augustinian abbey that stood at the site from around 1160 until 1538. The Abbey Pub in the heart of the leafy village is one of the last remaining monastic buildings and still serves ale some 800 years later.
