Annesley is a small civil parish in the district of Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, lying a few miles north of Nottingham. It sits among gently rolling farmland and pockets of woodland, offering a rural atmosphere while remaining within easy reach of the city and nearby green attractions such as Newstead Abbey country park.
The parish has a strong industrial past, shaped by a former coal colliery and the communities that grew around mining; vestiges of that history remain alongside more recent residential development. Historic sites such as the old manor at Annesley Hall, associated with the Chaworth family and their literary link to Lord Byron, give the area a notable cultural pedigree, and today it tends to be a quiet, community-minded place with local amenities and a focus on conserving its countryside character.
