Headon cum Upton is a small, quietly rural civil parish in the district of Bassetlaw in north Nottinghamshire, England, made up of the scattered villages of Headon and Upton. The area is dominated by arable farmland and hedged fields, with a handful of stone and brick cottages and farmsteads giving it a strong village character rather than any urban feel; many residents commute to nearby market towns such as Worksop and Retford for work and services.
There are a few historic touches that punch above the parish's size: a historic parish church and several listed buildings hint at a long local story, and the surrounding lanes and footpaths make it popular with walkers who enjoy quiet countryside and glimpses of traditional Nottinghamshire village life. Community activity tends to be low-key and centred on village events and farming rhythms, making it a good example of a small agricultural community close to larger amenities.
