Lound is a small civil parish and village in the district of Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire, England, lying close to the winding River Idle and not far from the market town of Retford. The landscape is a mix of low-lying arable land, small woodlands and the series of water-filled gravel pits known as Lound Lakes, which have become important local features for wildlife, fishing and walking.
Historically an agricultural community, Lound retains a quiet, rural character with an active village life and a steady number of residents who commute to nearby centres such as Retford and Worksop. The parish’s lakes and river channels give it particular appeal for birdwatchers and anglers, while the feel of an historic village survives alongside modest modern housing and local amenities.
