Papplewick is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of Gedling, Nottinghamshire, England, lying a few miles north of Nottingham. It preserves a distinctly village character of stone and brick cottages set among rolling farmland and wooded valleys, and is best known for the striking Victorian engineering complex at Papplewick Pumping Station, a popular museum of steam-driven waterworks.
The parish is dotted with reservoirs and quiet lanes, notably Papplewick Reservoir, which together with surrounding footpaths draws walkers, birdwatchers and steam enthusiasts; locally the economy remains a mix of agriculture, commuter households and small-scale tourism. Community life is typical of small Nottinghamshire villages, with local events, a village hall and a close-knit atmosphere rather than extensive commercial development.
