Elkesley is a small village and civil parish in Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, England, located close to the A1 between Retford and Worksop. Set in gently undulating arable countryside, it has a predominantly rural feel with farming still important locally while many residents commute to nearby market towns and larger centres for work.
The village retains a compact historic core with a parish church, a traditional pub and community-minded facilities such as a village hall and local clubs; occasional events and grassroots groups underpin social life. The proximity of the A1 has long influenced the local economy, bringing passing trade and good road links but the settlement still feels distinctly rural and village-oriented.
