Willington is on the River Trent about 6 miles (10 km) southwest of Derby. The parish is within 0.5 miles (800 m) of the Staffordshire county boundary and the village is about 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Burton upon Trent.
The village is at the crossroads of the north - south B5008 road (for Findern, Repton and Winshill), and the east - west A5132 road (formerly the B5009, linking Hilton and Swarkestone). The A5132 carried a lot of Nottingham - Stoke-on-Trent traffic before the A50 road was opened in September 1997.
