About

Pinxton ward lies on the eastern edge of Bolsover district, bordering Nottinghamshire.

The landscape is shaped by its industrial past, with former colliery sites now largely reclaimed. The ward includes the settlements of Pinxton and parts of South Normanton, situated on land that slopes towards the River Erewash.

The canal, part of the Cromford Canal network, runs through the area, though sections are no longer navigable. Land use is mixed, with residential streets, industrial estates, and open green spaces like King George V Park. The M1 motorway runs along the ward's western boundary, providing a major transport link.
