Sherwood ward sits on the eastern edge of Mansfield, bordered by open countryside and the A617 road. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of post-war housing estates and more modern developments. Its landscape is gently sloping, featuring several small parks and green spaces that provide local recreation. The ward includes the neighbourhoods of Oak Tree Lane and parts of Bellamy Road, serving as a quiet residential district for the town.

Daily life centres around local shops, schools, and community facilities like the Oak Tree Leisure Centre. The area offers direct access to surrounding farmland and walking paths towards Pleasley, blending suburban living with proximity to the Nottinghamshire countryside.
