Kirkby Cross & Portland is a largely residential ward within Ashfield district in Nottinghamshire, England, centred on suburbs of Kirkby-in-Ashfield. It combines post‑war and more recent housing, local shops and community facilities, with pockets of green space that give a semi‑rural feel on the edge of the historic Nottinghamshire coalfield.
Like much of the surrounding area it carries a coal‑mining heritage and a strong local community identity, and in recent years has seen regeneration and modest commercial development; many residents commute to nearby Nottingham and Mansfield for work. The neighbourhood is served by schools, sports clubs and community centres, and enjoys relatively easy access to surrounding countryside including the fringes of Sherwood Forest.
