Calverton

Calverton ward lies in the northern part of the borough of Gedling, forming a distinct settlement surrounded by agricultural land. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing developments from different eras radiating from a historic core. Local commerce is centred along Main Street, which serves the community's everyday needs. The ward's boundaries encompass several outlying farms and rural lanes, maintaining a connection to its past as a Nottinghamshire mining village.

The landscape is shaped by the former Calverton Colliery site, now largely reclaimed and integrated into the surrounding countryside, with some industrial structures remaining. Public footpaths and green spaces, including the area around the Willow Brook, provide accessible recreation. A notable local event is the annual Goose Fair, a tradition with roots extending back several centuries, reflecting the area's enduring community focus.
