South Darley is a civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales. It is a largely rural parish and covers the villages of Darley Bridge, Wensley and the hamlets of Oker and Snitterton. South Darley lies west of Matlock and east of Winster. The River Derwent forms the north-eastern boundary of South Darley parish with Darley Dale parish on the other bank. About two thirds of the parish lies within the Peak District.

South Darley Village Hall is located in the Cross Green area of Darley Bridge and was opened in 1932. It stands next to South Darley Church of England Primary School and opposite Cross Green Plantation.[1] [2]

The parish contains a Grade-II listed church, St Mary the Virgin.[3]
