Selston is a ward within the district of Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, England, sitting on the edge of the old Nottinghamshire coalfield and the surrounding countryside of the East Midlands. It occupies a mix of village and semi-rural areas and lies within easy reach of larger urban centres such as Nottingham and Mansfield, making it a popular spot for commuters as well as long-standing local families.
The area retains a strong mining heritage that shaped local identity and housing, but in recent decades has shifted towards a more mixed local economy with small shops, pubs, community venues, sports clubs and accessible green spaces for walking and cycling. There is a visible village character with historic buildings and parish amenities alongside newer residential development, giving the ward a blend of traditional community life and modern commuter suburbs.
