Bevercotes is a very small civil parish in Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, sitting in the agricultural countryside of the county's north. The parish itself is made up of a few scattered farms and dwellings and is characteristically quiet, with the nearest services and larger communities found in nearby market towns such as Retford and Worksop.

The area is perhaps best known for its mid‑20th century association with coal mining: Bevercotes was home to a modern, heavily mechanised colliery that shaped local employment and landscape until its later closure and reclamation. Today the economy is largely agricultural and commuter‑based, community life is closely linked to neighbouring villages and towns, and the mining legacy survives in local memory and altered landforms rather than in active industry.
