Trowell is a small village in the Borough of Broxtowe, Nottinghamshire, England, sitting on the western edge of the Nottingham conurbation beside the River Erewash. The village is notable for its proximity to the M1 motorway - the nearby Trowell Services takes its name from the settlement - and lies conveniently between Nottingham and Derby, making it a well‑placed commuter spot with a semi‑rural feel.
Historically Trowell was part of Nottinghamshire’s industrial and coal‑mining landscape, and traces of that past can still be seen in reclaimed green spaces and the pattern of local housing. Today it retains a village community character with a parish church, local pubs and small businesses, while many residents work in the nearby towns and cities; there’s a mix of countryside and industrial heritage that gives the place a quietly distinct identity.
