The village and civil parish of Gringley on the Hill sits in the district of Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire, England, perched on a prominent ridge that looks out over the River Idle and the wider Trent valley. Its elevated position gives broad, rural views towards Gainsborough and the surrounding lowlands, and the landscape is a patchwork of arable fields and hedged pastures popular with walkers.
Historically a farming community with roots stretching back to medieval times, the parish still centres on a compact core of traditional stone houses and historic buildings.
