Bole is a small riverside village and civil parish in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, sitting on the west bank of the River Trent and close to the Lincolnshire town of Gainsborough and market town of Retford. The surrounding landscape is low-lying floodplain, with wetlands and former gravel workings that have become important wildlife habitats, notably around the well-known marshy meadows of Bole Ings.
Its character is quietly rural: agriculture and river-related activity have long shaped the local economy and settlement pattern, while today many residents commute to nearby towns. The parish attracts birdwatchers and walkers for its riverside scenery and nature interest, and retains a small-community feel centred on village amenities and the historic relationship with the Trent and its floodplain.
