It’s little wonder that in a post-pandemic world Nottinghamshire’s beautiful villages are attracting so much attention.
Many former office-based workers are now working from home, allowing them to live further away from major cities.
And what better place to set up your home working base than the stunning Nottinghamshire countryside.
There are literally hundreds of villages scattered across the county - and each one boasts its own unique charm.
With low-beam pubs, quaint cottages and top-rated schools, Nottinghamshire’s many villages are ideal for those looking for a more sedate lifestyle.
So, let’s take a look at 9 Nottinghamshire villages that are so charming you’ll have a burning urge to move there:
