Calverton is a village and civil parish in the borough of Gedling, in Nottinghamshire, England, set a few miles north of Nottingham. It feels like a large village rather than a town, with a mix of older cottages and post‑war housing; the community of several thousand people benefits from local shops, pubs, schools and easy access to surrounding countryside.
Historically an agricultural settlement, Calverton saw significant change in the 20th century as local industry and a nearby colliery influenced housing and social life, and today it functions largely as a commuter settlement while retaining a village identity. The area is handy for exploring Nottinghamshire's rural edges and woodlands, including the fringes of Sherwood Forest, and there remains an active local scene of churches, clubs and annual events that keep village life lively.
