About

Rainworth is a former mining village situated west of Mansfield, with residential streets extending into surrounding woodland. The area retains a practical layout, with local shops and services concentrated along Southwell Road East. Nearby Rainworth Water forms a linear park through the settlement, providing green space along its course.
