About

Bilsthorpe ward lies in the central part of the Newark and Sherwood district, encompassing the village of Bilsthorpe and its surrounding rural land. The area's landscape is primarily defined by former mining activity, with large areas of reclaimed land now forming part of the wider Sherwood Forest region. This history has shaped the settlement pattern and the local economy, creating a distinct community within the Nottinghamshire countryside.

The village itself serves as the focal point, with residential areas and local amenities. A notable feature is the presence of Bilsthorpe Business Park, which occupies a portion of the former colliery site, representing the area's economic transition. The ward includes farmland and pockets of woodland, connecting it to the forest heritage of the district while maintaining its own practical, working character.
