About

Ollerton & Boughton is a civil parish in the north of the district, centred on the market town of Ollerton and the adjoining village of Boughton. The area is largely defined by its position at a major road junction and its history with the surrounding Sherwood Forest. The landscape includes residential neighbourhoods, areas of former mining land now reclaimed, and woodland.

The town centre retains a traditional layout around the market cross. A specific local feature is the presence of the 'Major Oak' in nearby Edwinstowe, which draws a steady flow of visitors through the area. The local economy has transitioned from mining to include retail and light industry, with a large garden centre being a notable employer.
