Hartshorne is a village in the English county of Derbyshire. It is north of the town of Swadlincote.
The name is pronounced Harts-horne; the sh is not a digraph, as this is a compound. However, locals pronounce it "Artsun".
Local pubs include "The Rodney" named after the 18th century admiral, The Mill Wheel (complete with a fully refurbished 18th-century mill wheel measuring in excess of 20ft), and the "The Chesterfield Arms" although this pub has closed and was demolished in September 2009.
