The top 10 best places to live in Nottinghamshire in 2024, according to Muddy Stilettos

Lifestyle magazine Muddy Stilettos has named Newark-on-Trent as the best place to live in Nottinghamshire in 2024. 

As part of its annual Top 260 Places to Live guide, Muddy Stilettos set up a regional vote across 29 English counties, with Newark-on-Trent coming out on top here in Nottinghamshire. 

From towns to villages, hamlets to commuter favourites, each of the initial 260 locations were independently researched and picked by the in-the-know Muddy Editorial team, and then over 27,500 readers went on to vote. 

The results revealed passion for each town or village’s sense of community, quality of access to schools, restaurants, shops and culture, plus their feeling towards their overall immediate surroundings.

Muddy Stilettos describes Newark as “a fantastic place for families and professional couples” with “fantastic commuter links”. 

The luxury lifestyle magazine also pointed to the town’s array of independent shops and restaurants. 

Newark was closely followed in the rankings by West Bridgford and Beeston.
