West Drayton is a small village and civil parish in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, England. Tucked into gently rolling farmland, it retains the quiet character of an agricultural community while being within easy driving distance of Retford and the A1 corridor, so many people combine local rural work with commuting to nearby towns.
Its historic roots show in a scattering of older cottages and farmhouses, and village life centres on community activities, seasonal events and an active village hall; public footpaths and country lanes make it a pleasant spot for walkers. Small-scale enterprises and the surrounding landscape keep the place firmly rooted in rural traditions even as it adapts to modern pressures and new residents.
