Selston is a village and civil parish in the district of Ashfield, in Nottinghamshire, England. It sits on the western fringe of the Nottinghamshire coalfield and is within easy commuting distance of Nottingham and Mansfield, giving it a mix of rural character and good transport links to larger towns.
The village has a visible coal‑mining heritage - former pits and colliery communities shaped its 19th‑ and 20th‑century growth - but today it is largely residential with local shops, schools, sports clubs and active community groups. Surrounding farmland, woodlands and public footpaths make it popular with walkers, while occasional village events and local institutions preserve a strong small‑village social life.
