Shardlow is a village 7 miles South East from Derby, situated upon the banks of the River Trent. It is one of the only two inland ports which still exist largely intact in Britain. Shardlow is a village of two parts.
To the west is the old village, predating the canal. To the east, the inland port was a new settlement created by the construction of the Trent and Mersey Canal, opened in 1777. This unique waterway and history gives Shardlow a great sense of character and opportunity to connect with the natural environment.
