Jacksdale and Westwood are neighbouring villages in the district of Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, England, lying close to the Derbyshire border. Both grew up as coal‑mining communities in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with terraced housing and former railway links that hint at their industrial past set alongside rolling Nottinghamshire countryside.
Nowadays they are largely residential, with local shops, community centres and sports clubs and a strong sense of local identity. Many people commute to nearby centres such as Nottingham and Mansfield, while the local economy has shifted away from deep coal production toward services, light industry and leisure, and the area offers easy access to country walks and green spaces.
