Scaftworth is a very small, low‑lying rural parish in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, lying close to the River Trent and the border with Lincolnshire. The landscape is dominated by arable and pasture farmland, drainage channels and riverside meadows, making it a quiet spot valued by walkers and birdwatchers rather than a centre of industry.
Historically the area’s life has been tied to agriculture and the nearby river, and today the parish has only a handful of homes with limited local services, so residents usually look to neighbouring villages such as Misson and West Burton or the market town of Retford for shops, schools and community events. Its small scale and riverside setting give it a tranquil, unhurried character prized by countryside seekers and commuters alike.
