About Rufford

Rufford holds the quiet dignity of a place shaped by the slow, deliberate work of water and stone. It lies 5.4 miles east-south-east of Market Warsop (from Market Warsop: bearing 106°T, OS grid SK 650 656), and is situated south of Ollerton village. The landscape here breathes with a damp, ancient vitality, where the heavy silts of the Gallow Hole Dyke nourish the low-lying fields. Sunlight often catches the surface of Rufford Lake, turning the water into a sheet of hammered pewter that reflects the shifting moods of the Nottinghamshire sky. Remnants of the old Cistercian monastery still linger in the earth, a silent weight of history that informs the stillness of the surrounding woods. Beyond the trees, the modern paths of the Sherwood Castle Holiday Forest invite a different kind of movement, yet the land remains tethered to its monastic foundations. Rufford retains an air of sequestered peace, defined more by the persistent flow of its streams than by the clamour of the modern world. Every path through the nearby meadows carries the faint, cool scent of damp fern and turned soil, marking the passage of the seasons upon this singular, grounded terrain.
