About

Ling Forest is a residential ward situated on the eastern side of Mansfield, bordered by the A617 to the north and the open fields of the countryside to the east. The area is characterised by modern housing developments, primarily built from the 1990s onwards, with a mix of detached and semi-detached homes. Local amenities are focused around the Oak Tree Lane area, which includes a large supermarket, a medical centre, and several smaller retail units serving the community's daily needs.

The ward contains significant green space, including the expansive Oak Tree Leisure Centre complex with its sports fields. A notable feature is the presence of the former Sherwood Colliery site, now largely reclaimed and integrated into the landscape, reflecting the area's transition from its mining past. Public transport links connect residents to Mansfield town centre and the railway station, while road access is provided via the A617 for travel towards the M1 motorway.
