Amber Valley, Unparished Area (Derbyshire, UK)

Amber Valley is a local government district and borough in Derbyshire, England. It is situated in the East Midlands region and is known for its mix of rural and urban areas. The district was formed in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, combining several former districts including Alfreton, Belper, Heanor, and Ripley.

Geography and Location

The district covers a diverse landscape that includes parts of the Peak District National Park, as well as flatter, more developed areas.

Amber Valley has a population of approximately 130,000 residents. The main towns within the district include Alfreton, Belper, Heanor, Ripley, and Langley Mill. These towns serve as local commercial and administrative centres.
