About

Ashfield sits in north Nottinghamshire, in the East Midlands, centred on towns such as Sutton-in-Ashfield and Kirkby-in-Ashfield. The area lies between the city of Nottingham and Mansfield and is crossed by the Robin Hood Line, with stations such as Sutton Parkway serving local commuters. Local government is based in Kirkby-in-Ashfield and the district contains a mix of town centres, housing estates and pockets of open land that mark the boundary between urban and rural parts of the county. Regular markets and small industrial estates provide much of the town-level economy.

The district has a clear industrial past tied to coal mining; former pits and rail sidings remain part of the landscape and some sites have been repurposed for recreation, business parks or housing. Community facilities include leisure centres, libraries and sports clubs that serve surrounding villages and towns. Day-to-day life in Ashfield is shaped by its transport links, the legacy of mining, and the town centres that continue to act as local hubs for shopping and services.
