Amber Valley, Administrative district in Derbyshire, England.
The borough extends over 102 square miles of land north of Derby, incorporating both industrial zones in the east and agricultural areas in the west.
Established in 1974 through the Local Government Act, Amber Valley merged five former districts and received borough status in 1989 with its administrative center in Ripley.
The district includes four market towns - Alfreton, Belper, Heanor, and Ripley - each contributing to the local manufacturing and engineering sectors.
The council maintains 42 elected members from 18 wards, managing local services and organizing regular meetings at the Ripley Town Hall from 1881.
The Dolls House Emporium, situated in Codnor Gate Business Park near Ripley, ranks among the principal dollhouse retailers worldwide.
