Lound is a small village and civil parish in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, England, sitting in a largely rural part of the county close to the Lincolnshire border. It has the compact feel of a traditional English village with surrounding arable fields and grazing, a handful of older houses and farmsteads, and a parish church that points to the settlement’s long history.

The local economy remains rooted in agriculture while many residents commute to nearby market towns such as Retford and Worksop. The area is popular with walkers and birdwatchers thanks to nearby woodlands, hedgerows and riverside paths, and village life centres on small community amenities and occasional local events that sustain a strong neighbourhood identity.
