Transport

In 1849 the Midland Railway opened the Leicester to Burton upon Trent Line through the parish and Gresley railway station at Castle Gresley. The station closed in the 20th century but the line remains open for freight traffic. The station building has been converted to a furniture store.

The village is on the A444 between Overseal (southeast) and Stanton (northwest). It is also connected by unclassified roads to Church Gresley to the east and Linton to the south.

The village has several bus routes available, operated by Diamond East Midlands.
