Hatton is a village in South Derbyshire, England. It is located 6km north of Burton upon Trent, 20km west of Derby and 40km east of Stoke-on-Trent.

Geography

It is about 1km north of Tutbury, Staffordshire with the River Dove running between the two villages. It has a population of 2500 and is mainly residential.

The village has excellent transport links. It is close to the A50 road which links the M1 and M6. The A50 used to pass through the north of the village, but was bypassed in May 1995 by the 6 mile £19million Hatton, Hilton and Foston Bypass. The former route is now the A511, which passes through the village from Tutbury. Tutbury and Hatton railway station is on the Nottingham to Crewe line. Services are provided by East Midlands Trains. The [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/45100 station] was originally closed in the Beeching cuts in the 1960s, but was re-opened in the 1980s (like other previously-closed rural stations) due to public demand. Local bus services are provided by Arriva who link Hatton with Burton and Uttoxeter, and Trent Barton who link with Derby and Burton.

The village is within the areas of South Derbyshire District Council and Derbyshire County Council. The local MP is Mark Todd.
