Harlow Wood is a compact area of mixed woodland and scrub on the edge of the district of Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, England. It functions as a local green space popular with walkers, dog‑owners and birdwatchers, with a mix of mature trees, rides and small clearings that support a variety of common woodland birds and wildflowers through the seasons.
Like much of the surrounding area, the wood sits within a landscape shaped by the region’s industrial past, and it is valued by nearby communities in places such as Sutton-in-Ashfield and Kirkby-in-Ashfield as informal amenity space. Local volunteer groups and parish projects often help with practical conservation and community events, so its main roles are recreational, ecological and social rather than economic.
