Mattersey is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, in the north of England. It sits beside the floodplain of the River Idle and is set in broadly agricultural landscape with hedgerow-lined lanes, making it popular for walking and wildlife watching; the adjacent settlement of Mattersey Thorpe forms part of the local community and reflects mid‑20th century housing growth.

The village has a long history and is notable for the picturesque ruins of an Augustinian priory by the river and an old parish church, giving a sense of continuity with medieval rural life. Today the economy remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns; social life centres on village amenities and community events that keep a strong small‑village character.
