Rainworth South & Blidworth ward encompasses former mining villages set within Nottinghamshire's rural landscape. The area is characterised by residential estates and local high streets serving the community. Surrounding farmland and pockets of woodland, like Blidworth Woods, provide green spaces. 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. The topography includes gentle slopes and valleys, with land use divided between housing, agriculture, and managed forestry.
