Ranskill is a small village and civil parish in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, England, lying in a gently undulating agricultural landscape not far from the market town of Retford and the meandering River Idle. Its setting of open fields and hedgerows gives it a distinctly rural character while keeping it within easy reach of larger towns and transport links.
Historically the village grew as an agricultural community and today combines farming with a commuter population and a close-knit local life centred on the village hall, church and local social activities. There are a few older houses and listed buildings that hint at its past, and residents value the quiet countryside, community events and the proximity of services in nearby towns.
