Brinsley is a village and ward in the borough of Broxtowe, in Nottinghamshire, England, sitting close to the county boundary with Derbyshire and neighbouring communities such as Eastwood and Heanor. It has a semi-rural feel, with a mix of housing, farmland and small local amenities, and lies within easy commuting distance of Nottingham and Derby.
The area has a strong mining heritage as part of the Nottinghamshire coalfield, and that history still marks the village in the form of memorials and remnants of former industries; today the community tends to be quiet and local-centred, with village events, green spaces and footpaths that make it popular with walkers and families seeking a rural edge within reach of larger towns.
