Map of the UK

Barnby Moor is a small village and civil parish in the district of Bassetlaw, in Nottinghamshire, England, situated a short distance from the market town of Retford. Set in a largely flat, agricultural landscape of hedged fields and ditches, it retains a distinctly rural character with a mix of older cottages and more modern homes and a modest, close-knit population.

Historically it developed as an agricultural settlement with roots reaching back to the medieval period, and while farming still figures in the local economy many residents now commute to larger centres. Community life is quietly focused on village events and local amenities, and the surrounding countryside is popular for walking and birdwatching while offering easy access to rail and road links into Nottingham and Sheffield.
