Burnaston is a village located in Derbyshire, just south of the city of Derby.

Since 1992, it has been dominated by the huge Toyota car plant - one of several British car plants built by Japanese carmakers as part of cost-saving measures to avoid such expenses as import duties and shipping costs.

The village has swift and direct road links with nearby cities Derby and Nottingham, as well as the city of Birmingham that is some 40 miles southwards along the A38 dual carriageway. It is also within 20 miles of East Midlands Airport.
