Ranskill

Ranskill ward sits in the northern part of the Bassetlaw district, primarily encompassing the village of Ranskill itself along with some surrounding farmland. The area is characterised by its agricultural setting within Nottinghamshire, with a layout centred around the historic Main Street. Residential development is mostly contained, maintaining a separation from the larger nearby settlements.

The local economy has traditional connections to farming and rural services. A notable feature is the village's former railway station, a reminder of its past on the East Coast Main Line, though the line itself now bypasses the immediate area. Community life focuses on local institutions and the open spaces at the village's edge, which transition directly into the arable fields defining the ward's boundaries.
