Shottle is a village approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) south of the market town of Wirksworth in Derbyshire.

[1] In Norman times, the manor of Shottle, referred to as Sothille in the Domesday Survey, belonged to the Ferrers[3] family.

[7] Shottle is a rather straggling rural village spread out on the road from Shottlegate to Wirksworth via Alport Height (Chequer Lane).

Shottle Hall dates from 1841 and is a pleasant building in the late Georgian style, now used mainly for weddings and events.

The station, which is on the Wirksworth Branch, was closed in 1947 to passengers and the building is owned by Peak Oil Ltd.
