Bestwood Village sits on the northern edge of Nottingham within the borough of Gedling in Nottinghamshire, England. It neighbours Bestwood Country Park, a mix of ancient woodland, reservoirs and open heath popular with walkers and cyclists, and the village's setting still shows the contrast between green parkland and the former mining terraces.
Originally built up in the 19th century around Bestwood Colliery and the adjoining Victorian country estate and lodge, the community retains a strong industrial heritage in features like the ornate Bestwood Pumping Station and rows of miner cottages, while more recent regeneration and commuter links to Nottingham have diversified the local economy. Today it has a village feel with local shops, pubs and active community groups alongside preserved historic buildings and recreational green space.
