Map of the UK

Misterton is a parish ward in the district of Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, England, centred on the village that sits beside the River Idle. The ward occupies low‑lying agricultural land and flood meadows close to the Lincolnshire border, and is within easy reach of market towns such as Gainsborough and Retford, giving it a mixed rural–commuter character.

The area has a long history as a riverside settlement with ties to milling and river transport, and today’s economy is largely agricultural with small local businesses and community services. There’s local interest in the wetland habitats along the river, regular village events and amenities such as shops, pubs and a primary school, which help maintain a strong community feel despite its proximity to larger towns.
