Swanwick (/ˈswɒnɪk/) is a village in Derbyshire, England, also a parish within the Amber Valley district, with a population of 5,316 at the 2001 census,[1] falling to 5,084 at the 2011 Census.[2] It has a number of shops, pubs and other businesses, a Church of St Andrews, as well as Methodist and Baptist churches. In the northern part of the parish an industrial estate on the former Swanwick Colliery site incorporates the Thornton's Confectionery factory along with other businesses. There is also a Christian conference centre, the largest in the UK.[citation needed] Now largely urbanised, the parish still has some remaining agricultural land to the north and west.
