Map of the UK

Newstead is a small parish in the borough of Gedling, Nottinghamshire, in the East Midlands of England, sitting a few miles north of Nottingham and close to Hucknall. The village is dominated by the historic Newstead Abbey and its parkland, with the River Leen and mature woodland giving the area a distinctly green, rural character despite its proximity to the city.

Locally the community balances a quiet residential and commuter profile with a strong tourism and heritage profile: the abbey, once an Augustinian priory and later the home of Lord Byron, brings visitors for house tours, concerts and walks. The parish also carries a working-class, industrial legacy from Nottinghamshire’s mining era, now woven into a landscape that emphasises conservation, leisure and local events.
