Shirland is an historic village which featured in the Domesday Book. Ogston Reservoir offers pleasant local walks nearby and the delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District are a short cycle or drive away. Hardwick Hall, Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are wonderful places to visit locally too. A nursery, primary school, grocery store and pub are all within a short walk.

The village is located equidistant between Alfreton and Clay Cross, where both towns are well-served with supermarkets and town centre shops. The A38 and M1 are a short distance away and offer good commuting routes to Chesterfield, Derby, Nottingham and Mansfield.
