Gamston in the district of Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, England is a small, quietly rural village a couple of miles from Retford. It sits in gently rolling farmland and retains an agricultural feel, with a mix of traditional stone and brick cottages, working farms and lanes that lead down towards the nearby River Idle and surrounding meadows.
Historically rooted in farming, Gamston now also functions partly as a commuter settlement thanks to good road and rail access via Retford, with many residents travelling to larger centres such as Doncaster, Sheffield and Lincoln. Local life revolves around the parish church, village hall and country pursuits, and the pleasant local countryside makes it popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
