Swadlincote Heritage Trails

There are lots of local interest and heritage trails around South Derbyshire, exploring our fascinating history.

Our local history archive, The Magic Attic, contains a vast number of photographs and resources from Swadlincote’s past and is open for people to visit and find out more about the local area's past.

Magic Attic resources, along with research and photos from individuals, have been used to create a Heritage Trail around Swadlincote in two parts - Swadlincote Town Centre and Swadlincote Villages (Church Gresley, Midway, Newhall, Woodville and Hartshorne). This was created by a team led by the Magic Attic and the Environmental Education Project.

These Trails includes some plaques around the town. Further information is available online by clicking in the related links section on this page and in our Swadlincote Heritage Trail ^{(pdf, 2.7mb)} and Swadlincote Villages Heritage Trail ^{(pdf, 1.8mb)} leaflets.

If you know of any organisations that might be interested in sponsoring the trail, ask them to contact us. This would enable us to create more plaques and/or pay for extra leaflets to be printed.

For more information about heritage projects in Swadlincote see the related links to the right hand side of this page or visit our Facebook page.

We will add links from this page to any Heritage Trails we are invited to share. So if you are writing one, you are welcome to get in touch with the Environmental Education Project team via rosliston@southderbyshire.gov.uk

The Visitor Information Centre in Swadlincote and the Visit South Derbyshire website are great sources of information about everything local!
