• Photos of Melbourne, Derbyshire, England.
The village of Melbourne is a small and very attractive Georgian market town in beautiful South Derbyshire. It is about eight miles south of and two miles from the River Trent.
This is a very quiet place that seems to have been lost in time, While I walked around here I felt that I had gone back about 40 years. The roads around here are not designed for modern traffic, so park up and walk around to enjoy it!
