Cromwell is a small village and civil parish in the Newark and Sherwood district of Nottinghamshire, England, set low in the flat, fertile Trent valley close to the River Trent and a short distance from the market town of Newark-on-Trent. Its riverside position is marked by the nearby Cromwell Lock and weir, which are focal points for boating, fishing and quiet riverside walks, and give the locality a distinctly rural, waterway character.
The village has medieval roots and retains a compact, agricultural feel: arable farmland and smallholdings surround a modest cluster of houses and a few historic buildings. Many residents commute to nearby towns via the A1 corridor and rail links at Newark-on-Trent, while locally the economy and community life remain centred on farming, outdoor leisure and a tight-knit village atmosphere.
