Worksop is a market town in the district of Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire, England, sitting on the banks of the River Ryton and close to the ancient oaks of Sherwood Forest. It acts as a gateway to the Dukeries, with large country estates such as Clumber Park and Welbeck Abbey nearby, and the medieval Worksop Priory remains a striking focal point in the town centre.
Historically tied to coal mining and the railways, Worksop has since diversified into retail, light industry and serves many commuters to cities like Sheffield, Doncaster and Nottingham. The town combines suburban neighbourhoods with surrounding agricultural villages, and local life is shaped by markets, sports clubs and efforts to preserve both its industrial heritage and the nearby rural landscapes.
