Elkesley Nottinghamshire Map

About Elkesley

Elkesley, a small village in Nottinghamshire's Bassetlaw district, lies quietly amidst the gently rolling countryside of England's East Midlands. It lies 5.8 km south-south-west of Retford (from Retford: bearing 198°T, OS grid SK 687 755), and is situated west-south-west of Gamston village. The air here often carries the scent of damp earth and distant fields, a subtle perfume of agricultural life that has shaped Elkesley for generations. Its modest cluster of dwellings, many built from the warm, local brick that catches the afternoon sun, speaks of a community rooted in the landscape. The nearby River Idle, though seldom dramatic, contributes a quiet, life-giving presence to the surrounding meadows. In times past, this land would have echoed with the sounds of harvest and the steady progress of rural industry, a rhythm that still underlies the village's tranquil present. Elkesley remains a place where the sky feels vast and the passing of seasons is a palpable, gentle force.
