The settlement pattern reflects its historical development around the now-closed collieries, with newer housing blending into the older village cores.

A notable local landmark is the ancient Major Oak on the fringes of Sherwood Forest, which lies within the ward's boundaries. Social clubs and community centres are focal points, and the area maintains a distinct identity separate from the larger towns nearby.
