The major attractions in the Osmaston village are its typical English village features.
There are several historical buildings and structures spread across the village.
The village pond is a major tourist attraction in Osmaston, which is located in the lower area. The pond is surrounded by several benches, where tourists can spend a lovely time.
One of the benches is made out of horseshoes. There are a few churches in the village, which are the centres of spirituality and magnificent architecture.
Saint Martin’s Church was built in 1606 and rebuilt in 1843. Tourists can visit the church to see its lofty tower, south porch, clerestoried nave and chancel.
Another attraction here is the Osmaston Manor House. The magnificent structure built in dark blue collared limestone and bordered with grit stone, is the Sir Andrew Barclay Walker’s seat.
The village experienced the traumas and after-effects of the First World War. A war memorial is therefore built in the village in the memory of those who lost their lives in the war.
The memorial is located at the church, besides the main road of the village.
The Shoulder of Mutton is the only pub in the village.
