Felley is a very small, largely rural civil parish in the Ashfield district of Nottinghamshire, England. Rather than a compact village it consists of scattered farms, lanes and small pockets of woodland, giving it a quiet, semi‑rural character and a very low resident population, with local matters dealt with through the district council.
Its most notable feature is Felley Priory, a historic priory house set in celebrated gardens renowned for spring snowdrops and bluebells; the house originated from a medieval religious foundation and later became a private residence with gardens sometimes open to visitors. The parish blends agricultural land and country‑house heritage and lies within easy travelling distance of nearby market towns and Nottingham, making it a peaceful outlying part of the county.
