How to Use This Gateford, Nottinghamshire Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Gateford, Nottinghamshire, England. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

Drag the map to pan to any area of Nottinghamshire or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Gateford and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.

OS MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows OS Outdoor mapping — contours, footpaths, bridleways and access land. Explorer 1:25k shows the OS Explorer sheets themselves: the orange-covered 1:25 000 maps walkers, fell runners and mountain rescue teams use, with field boundaries, rights of way and open access land. The search box finds any British town, village or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Gateford.

Reading the map like a paper Explorer sheet. Click Grid to overlay the OS National Grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference such as NY 266 234 by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an OS National Grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what mountain rescue and the coastguard work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your grid reference stays correct even where the map itself cannot load, which in the Lakes, the Dales and the Highlands is often exactly where you need it.

Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

About Gateford

Gateford displays a quiet composure as it transitions from the industrial pulse of northern Nottinghamshire into the open, rolling pastures of the Bassetlaw district. It lies 1.5 miles north-north-west of Worksop (from Worksop: bearing 337°T, OS grid SK 575 815), and is situated north-east of Rhodesia village. The horizon here is defined by the gentle rise of Gateford Hill, where the morning light catches the dew upon the tall grasses with a pale, silver clarity. Below this elevation, the landscape broadens toward the winding course of the Owlands Wood Dike, a waterway that marks the rhythm of the low-lying fields. Residents of Gateford often look toward the distant silhouettes of the woodland edges, where the air holds a stillness absent from the busier thoroughfares nearby. The architecture reflects a steady, pragmatic growth, blending modern residential comfort with the enduring character of the local soil. Shadows lengthen across the verge as the afternoon sun wanes, revealing the subtle textures of a place that remains deeply connected to the surrounding earth. Through every season, Gateford maintains a modest dignity, watching the seasons turn against a backdrop of ancient, quiet horizons.

About This Gateford Map Page

Explore Gateford, Nottinghamshire, with an embedded street and satellite map - switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 53.327339, -1.136891. Live weather conditions and 7-day forecasts are provided through Open-Meteo, while real-time local and world news feeds help keep the page current. Wikipedia and editorial summaries provide additional local information and context.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any British town, village or landmark by name; offers OS Outdoor and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled OS National Grid so the map can be read like a printed Explorer sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an OS National Grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the grid reference remains correct even where the map cannot load.
